Laurier Brantford YMCA Athletic and Recreation Centre

The Laurier Brantford YMCA Athletic and Recreation Centre is the new home of the health, fitness and aquatics complex built through a partnership between the governments of Canada and Ontario, Wilfrid Laurier University and the YMCA.

Opened in early 2018, the facility includes an aquatic centre for teaching, fitness, therapy and leisure. Multi-purpose spaces for fitness classes and social, educational and cultural programming are all available, as well as teaching spaces for community education and community-based health care programs.

The Laurier Brantford YMCA facility serves residents of Brantford, Brant County and Six Nations, the post secondary institutions in the community, as well as visitors.
