Light the Night: Y Ride for Youth has been rescheduled!

Due to the severe weather over the past few days, we made the difficult decision to postpone the event. We hope you've all been staying safe and cool.

We're excited to share the new date for the ride: Saturday, July 26.

Let's keep the hype going! Invite your friends and family to ride with you. Sign up: https://www.ymcaottawa.ca/light-the-night

If you haven't donated yet, now you have more time to help us reach our goal! Every dollar goes a long way. Together, we can provide shelter and support to a young person facing homelessness in our community.

We'll see you at Britannia Park on July 26! 🚲✨
