Join us in celebrating the 5th anniversary of Shane Homes YMCA at Rocky Ridge!   

 

5 years ago today, we opened the doors to the largest YMCA in the world.  

“The opening of Shane Homes YMCA at Rocky Ridge was a monumental moment, not only for our team, but for YMCAs globally. Since day one, this facility has provided an abundance of opportunity for Calgary’s Northwest and surrounding areas. I am proud to be part of this vibrant community hub and look forward to a bright future ahead.” – Shannon Doram, President & CEO 

Brigitte Edwards, Senior Director of Programs at YMCA Calgary, was the General Manager of Shane Homes YMCA at Rocky Ridge when it opened in 2018. “I can remember the anticipation the team felt after many months of preparation for this moment. The community was “a buzz” with the opening of this long-awaited facility, the largest YMCA in the world! Having the opportunity to open the Shane Homes YMCA as the first General Manager will forever be a highlight of my 25 year YMCA career.” - Brigitte Edwards, Senior Director of Programs
