Fundraiser for YMCA Youth Travel Exchange Program Saturday Local youths engaged in the YMCA Youth Travel Exchange Program will hold a fundraiser tomorrow (Saturday) at the Peter Gilgan Family YMCA in Oakville. Starting at 1 p.m., the group will collectively climb 3,954 metres at the facility's indoor rock climbing centre -- the same distance they will climb up Mount Robson when they visit British Columbia as part of the exchange. Pledges are being collected to sponsor the participants. Later that evening, the group invites families to a movie night fundraiser that begins at 6:30 p.m., with the screening of two movies in the YMCA gymnasium. The animated adventure comedy, The Book of Life (rated G), will start the evening, followed by Marvel's The Avengers film (PG-13) at 9 p.m. Admission is free and popcorn and drinks will be sold. A bake sale and silent auction will also take place to help raise funds. The youths are hoping to raise $3,300 to offset some of the costs of hosting their guests from the YMCA of Northern B.C. The group from B.C. will arrive in Oakville March 19 for a week-long stay to experience the sights and sounds of southern Ontario. Oakville participants will travel to Prince George, B.C. on March 10 to experience some of the local culture. YMCA staff said the YMCA Youth Exchange Program is the first exchange program of its kind between the YMCA of Oakville and the YMCA of Northern B.C. Most of the primary fees for the program are covered through the YMCA Youth Exchanges Canada Program. The program is designed to give participants the opportunity to gain leadership, team-building and collaboration skills through planning of program curriculum. A total of 20 youth from Oakville and Prince George were selected from applications received in January.
