YMCA seeks to replace downtown Hamilton building at end of ‘life cycle’
Don Mitchell - Global News | January 17, 2024
The president and CEO of the local YMCA says it’s seeking to replace a 100-year-old downtown Hamilton, Ont. building insisting it has reached the end of its ‘life cycle.’
As part of a five-year strategic plan, Manny Figueiredo says the James Street North and Jackson Street structure with it’s 174-bed men’s residence, health and fitness branches will have to be replaced due to inadequacies related to services.
“So we’re looking at exploring possibilities of a new downtown Y, and looking at for what will we do with the men’s residence (and) where the health and fitness component will be,” he said.
At the very least agency is seeking a new building that potentially could be housed on the current site should a new location not be identified, according to Figueiredo.
"The agency’s timeline for the replacement of the James Street site is within 5 to 7 years."
