A TABLE FOR CANADA'S YMCA

A unique boardroom table made entirely from historical artifacts donated by YMCAs across Canada was completed May 2011 and has a permanent home at YMCA Canada's office in Toronto.

All 53 YMCA Member Associations in Canada worked collaboratively on this project, collecting mementos and artifacts that told meaningful stories about their organization. The YMCA has been part of Canada's history for 160 years, so there were many wonderful items to choose from. Close to 100 items from across Canada were used to craft this beautiful and highly-unusual table.

Canadian YMCAs commissioned two young furniture craftsmen -- twin brothers Lars and Jason Dressler -- to build this table. Their Toronto business, Brothers Dressler, has been featured in publications including The Globe and Mail, Salon Magazine and Toronto Life.
