YMCA Bridletowne Neighbourhood Centre

pre-construction

This is a new mixed use community and recreation centre, owned by the YMCA of Greater Toronto (YMCA), will contain a combination of health, fitness and child programming along with leased spaces for local community social and health services. The facility will be roughly 14,000 m2 and brings together numerous local small United Way community agencies alongside large established organizations like Scarborough Health Network (SHN) to weave health and well-being into this forward-thinking model of caring for all ages at all stages of their wellness journey. The project is targeting LEED certification, Toronto Green Standard Tier 2, and Fitwel - making it an example of healthy and climate-smart development. The current design includes ultra-efficient energy systems and low-carbon materials, and GICB funding will allow the project to achieve Zero Carbon Standard certification by eliminating fossil fuels and offsetting any residual emissions associated with the project.
