UPHouse Realty

Let’s save the YMCA, sell some real estate, and extend the Terry Fox Trail! Rise up, St. Catharines. Big Ideas For The City Of St. Catharines Episode 3 Like many of you, I feel the sadness seeing our old YMCA on YMCA Drive empty. With a brand-new $110 million rec facility eyed for Merritton, why look at giant new builds when a solid fix is right here? Here’s a smarter way forward: The Math: A $30M reno + carrying costs saves a fortune over a $110M build. The Space: Move in the Boys & Girls Club and Dunlop Drive Centre for Older Adults, and repurpose underused sites like Russell Avenue Community Centre and Buchanan Hall to offset costs. The Connection: Link it all with a pedestrian bridge from the Terry Fox Trail over the QEW straight to the YMCA. Let’s save an iconic landmark and use what we already have. What do you think? Drop your thoughts below! And for all your real estate needs across the Niagara Region, “Y” don’t you Call Karl from RE/MAX UPHouse Realty.
