Calgarians get sneak peek into Seton YMCA set to open next month

Calgarians were given a sneak peek of the new Brookfield Residential YMCA in Seton over the weekend, ahead of its scheduled opening next month.

Built by the city, the 330,000 square-foot facility will be the largest YMCA in the world when it opens Jan. 14, 2019, besting the 284,000 square-foot Shane Homes YMCA, which opened at the beginning of the year in Rocky Ridge.

The pools at the Seton facility at 4995 Market Street S.E. near the South Health Campus hospital are set to open March 1, 2019.

Tours will also run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, but the facility will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.

No appointment is needed for a tour.
