Histoire administrative
Approaching the mid-20th century there were talks between the YMCA and YWCA on the potential of amalgamation. The London branches would successfully unify in 1951.
Following the amalgamation, the organization retained the same objectives as its predecessors. The 'Act to Incorporate the Young Men’s and Young Women’s Christian Association of London' outlined that their objectives continued to be "the spiritual, mental, social, educational and physical welfare and improvement of young men, boys, young women and girls." The organization operated camps, gym facilities, education programs, and more for their members that stretched across London and the surrounding area.
On January 4, 1981, a fire broke out in the YM-YWCA location on Wellington Street, and the building sustained heavy damage. Fortunately, the YM-YWCA had already outgrown the building and had previously acquired a new location.
Today the YM-YWCA operates as a multi-service charity that provides opportunities for personal growth in spirit, mind and body for people of all backgrounds, beliefs and abilities. They operate facilities, child care centres, community programs, and camps for more than 2.24 million members across the country.
