The Oakville Family YMCA is located on the site of an existing YMCA, reflecting the community's need for an updated and enlarged facility for the new millennium.

The building contains a broad range of facilities encompassing the YMCA's holistic approach to health and wellness for all age groups. Among these facilities are two indoor pools, a gymnasium, running track, fitness area, climbing wall and change rooms, as well as a resource centre with Internet stations, multi-purpose rooms, a health/therapy clinic and a future cardiac rehab facility.

The design intention for the YMCA was to create a highly legible building, both from the inside and the outside, that would invigorate the surrounding neighbourhood and serve as a truly community-based facility.
