The low-income man has been waiting for over 6 months and has called them every 2 months and they keep putting it off. What is even more surprising is that I had a subsidized membership and allowed it to lapse, which lead them to say that I had to “re-apply”.
So during Christmas the low-income man sent an email and fax to Sandy Reimer regarding the delay. During Christmas Sandy Reimer could not suspend her hostility and show some Christmas cheer but became very hostile, and with meanness, told the low-income man “because of your communication your application is now deleted”
Ask Paulette Senior the CEO to show some kindness and remind her of the mission and values of YWCA, which is not to increase 70 dollars a month members, but, ALSO to assist those who cannot afford 70 dollars a month to participate in health and fitness and community.
Thank you.
This is what YWCA requests in order to receive a subsidized membership
- Unable, not unwilling to pay full fee(s).
- Committed to pay the agreed portion of fees during the decided term.
- Membership terms range from 1 month to 12 months,
- Committed to using the Y on a regular basis.
Is YWCA in Vancouver reducing the number of poor members? Are they trying to make it exclusive for the upper middle-class? Were you aware that they charge almost 70 dollars a month and want another 12 dollars a month for towel service?
Again to conclude. Please join us in in contacting the National office of YWCA regarding the hostility a poor man suffered from Sandy Reimer who is the director of the Vancouver YMCA. Contact
