Two YMCA locations in Regina will be closing in the coming days, the local branch announced by news release Monday evening. "It is with a heavy heart that we share this news," Steve Compton, CEO of the YMCA of Regina, said in the release. For several years, the local YMCA has faced more expensive building and capital costs, plus less revenue in the health and fitness space, Compton said. Staff and volunteers at the two YMCA locations were notified earlier today about the shutdowns, the release said, adding that the organization will do what it can to help them and YMCA members during this time. The YMCA location on Rochdale Boulevard, in the northwest part of Regina, will remain open.
