The first Young Men's Christian Association in North America was the
Montreal Association, which opened its doors on November 25th, 1851, shortly
before YMCAs started up in Boston, New York, and Toronto. The North American
YMCAs formed a confederation in 1854, and the World Alliance of YMCAs was
formed in 1855. The YMCA's Canadian national administrative headquarters were
located in Montreal until the formation of the separate National Council of
YMCAs of Canada in 1912 with headquarters in Toronto. The U.S. and Canadian
YMCAs continued for decades after to conduct foreign work together under the
auspices of the International Committee.

The records of the Canadian YMCA consist primarily of printed and near
print material such as proceedings, reports, program, pamphlets, historical
notes, newsletters, bulletins, and newspaper clippings. Some correspondence is
also included. The records document the work of the Canadian national
organization, provinces, and local associations. Topics include World Service
and international programs (1960-1981); material on the Canadian Committee on
Friendly Relations (1960-1965); service during World War I, World War II, and
the Boer War; and celebrations of major anniversaries of Canadian YMCAs.
