Who is John Lindsay?
John Lindsay Sr. was a volunteer, member, and ambassador of the YMCA of Greater Halifax/Dartmouth. John joined the Board of the YMCA in the early 1960s and remained as Director until 1971, all while remaining an active and encouraging participant in his much-loved YMCA exercise class.
He was also active in every YMCA fundraising campaign from 1970 to the time of his passing in 2006. In 2005, he was appointed to the YMCA Fellowship of Honour in a ceremony on Parliament Hill. Because of his dedication and passion for the YMCA, the new Centre of Community was named in his honour.
