Teens Offered Free Membership At YMCA

Jul 3, 2018 | 3:10 PM

PRINCE GEORGE – Teens can now get more active this summer, thanks to the YMCA of Northern BC’s free Teen Summer Membership.

The offer comes in response to a recent report showing that Canadian kids are not active enough. The 2018 ParticipACTION Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth shows that only 35 percent of five to 17-year-olds are reaching their recommended physical activity levels. In school terms, that’s a D+ in overall physical activity for kids.

To improve that low grade, the YMCA of Northern BC is encouraging youth to get more active and meet new people with this free membership. Teens can take advantage of this opportunity now until the end of August.

The Teen Summer Membership is offered at all YMCA of Northern BC locations. For more information, visit YMCA of Northern BC.
