👉Sault Ste. Marie city council has agreed to contribute $505,000 to aid in saving the city's YMCA. An unnamed charitable foundation is purchasing the YMCA building, contingent upon the city providing funds for necessary repairs. While some councillors expressed concerns about transparency, the motion to support the YMCA passed 7-3. Mayor Matthew Shoemaker highlighted the potential higher cost to the city if the YMCA were to close. The funding, coming from the city's reserves, will not incur additional costs for taxpayers. However, councillors are now pushing for greater oversight of the YMCA's operations.✅ . 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞, 𝐎𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨'𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭.
