“I am proud that aquatic and fitness programming will resume at the Y in November. Our residents are looking forward to their Y after several months at home due to the pandemic. Physical activity is very important for good mental health, and we are happy that residents will once again have access to the equipment and programs that have been dear to them for several years,” declared Mario Zanth, Mayor of the City of Clarence-Rockland.
Since 2008, the YMCA-YWCA of the National Capital Region and the City of Clarence-Rockland have been partners in providing the residents of the community with services and programs that assist them in leading active and healthier lives.
