Petition background:

1) The YMCA-YWCA of Greater Victoria (hereafter, the Y) implemented in November 2014 a new two-hour time limit parking policy without adequately consulting with its members.

2) The Y management implemented this major policy change without clearly communicating to its members the reasons or justification for the change.

3) A two-hour time limit is unreasonable and untenable for Y members who utilize the facilities for more than two hours per visit, of which there are many.

4) Consistent with the Y’s mission of community-centered engagement, the Y’s members should be given sufficient opportunity to review and respond to any proposed parking policy changes.

Petition:

We, the undersigned, are concerned Y members who urge the Y management to immediately reverse the new two-hour time limit parking policy and revert back to the previous three-hour time limit policy.

The two hour parking limit makes a plus membership useless for team sports as I have no time to use the facilities. Even trying to get a warmup done and play our regular games means quiting early to even get a shower. A lot of people like to stop in the restaurant afterwards to grab a bite to eat and chat but with the new timeframe that is not possible.

Two hour parking simply does not work for many of us. At the very least, weekdays before 5pm should remain 3-hour parking, since the lot across the street was never available then. Would have appreciated if before making your decision you had asked the Y members for inspired suggestions; then we would have at least felt consulted. Why not do that now?

2 hours is not enough time for court games, shower and enjoy a coffee at the cafe
