Additional Information

  • The registration fee includes all meals from Dinner on Sunday 19 July 2026 through to the final Dinner on Friday 24 July 2026; transport from the airport to Toronto city centre; up to 6 nights accommodation at either the Sheraton or Marriott Hotels in downtown Toronto from Sunday 19 July 2026 to Friday 24 July 2026; excursions; and the full World Council programme. It does NOT include international travel. (These costs are for single occupancy rooms. See below for the limited possibilities around double or twin rooms.)

  • The fees are quoted and payable in Canadian dollars (CAD) only, with a link to a Currency Converter for information.

  • Rooms with two or more beds are limited, and are therefore being prioritised for subsidised delegates.

  • There will be an option at registration for delegates to choose higher class rooms or suites for payment of an additional fee.

  • National and Local YMCAs will be able to make block bookings of ‘Early Bird’ registrations. They will then be issued with a unique code which can be applied by their delegates during registration to link the booking with the ‘Early Bird’ payment received. Please contact worldcouncil@ymca.int to make this request.

Subsidies

Following its Travel Subsidy Policy, World YMCA offers travel subsidies for two representatives for a National Movement which meets the eligibility criteria. There will also be youth subsidies available through the Change Agent programme.
