Through a variety of sports programs, the CYO has created a platform for children to challenge themselves both physically and mentally, fostering qualities of resilience, discipline, and teamwork. These programs not only cultivate a sense of healthy competition but also instill values that extend beyond the realm of sports, promoting the development of well-rounded individuals.
The athletic and recreation programs offered by the C.Y.O. promote inclusivity in sports, create a sense of belonging, boost self-esteem, and foster a supportive community where diversity is celebrated.

My journey with the C.Y.O. began when I was six years old, in first grade. I participated in fall sports including cross country, attended educational trips with my classmates, and went to summer camp every year.
The Catholic Youth Organization had a major impact on my life since the age of seven. From the moment I ran my first cross country in 2011 with the Crusaders Athletic Program to this past fall where I worked the event, I carry forward with me all the lessons learned, and memories made.

This past year, the Catholic Youth Organization (C.Y.O.) received an operational grant from the Community Building Fund at the Ontario Trillium Foundation to maintain our office operations at Camp Marydale and Camp Brebeuf. The project time frame has taken us from September 2021 to October 2022. It has given the C.Y.O. the opportunity to maintain operations by supporting the salary of two bookkeeping positions. This investment by the Ontario Trillium Foundation allowed the C.Y.O. to continue operating facilities and deliver programs for Ontarians by hiring specialized personnel to maintain viability and ensure sustainability of the organization.
