Pre-authorized Payments
Monthly membership payments are debited from your bank account on the 20th of each month. Your membership is ongoing. Prior to your anniversary date, you will receive a notice stating your fee for the next year. Your membership will continue unless the YMCA is notified in writing that you wish to make a change to or cancel your membership.

Paid in Full
You may pay your annual membership in full with cash, debit card, cheque, visa or mastercard. You may also divide your payments over three consecutive months.

Membership Assistance
Membership assistance provides support to those who wish to become members but are unable to pay the full fee. Support for this program comes from the United Way and the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign and the Kitchener-Waterloo YMCA.

Membership Card
Your YMCA membership card is not transferable and may only be used by you. If someone else tries to use your card with or without your knowledge, your membership will be suspended. Please keep your membership card safe and notify Member Services immediately if it is lost/stolen. If you are unable to find your card, you must purchase a replacement card.

Putting Your Membership on Hold
A member may put their membership on hold for medical reasons only. A doctor's note is required. The request must be made in person and the membership card is to be returned. Your regular monthly payments will still be debited from your account. When you return to the YMCA your membership will be extended for a maxium of 6 months.

Visiting Another YMCA
Your membership card will be recognized when visiting most other YMCA's. The number of visits may be restricted depending on the policies of each YMCA. We advise calling the facility ahead of time to inquire about such policies.

Changes to Your Membership
Should you wish to change your membership category, you may do so at any time. If you change your bank account, it must be done in writing prior to the 10th of the month.

YMCA Cancellations & Refunds
All Membership Pre-Authorized Payment cancellations must be received in writing on or before the 10th of the month, no cancellations will be completed over the phone. Program and Membership refunds are subject to a 15% administration charge. Please see our YMCA Membership Service & Sales Staff for more details.

Non Sufficient Funds Policy
All unpaid payments returned by the bank to the YMCA will be subject to an administrative fee. The return of two unpaid payments from the bank will result in cancellation of your YMCA membership or program.
