Rev Your Heart, Mind and Body

August, 2026 | YMCA | Announcement

Earlier this year, Yamaha Motor Canada launched its 2026 Accelerate Together Wellness Series. It is a company-wide program designed to support employee wellbeing around Seven Pillars of Wellness: Emotional, Environmental, Financial, Intellectual, Physical, Social and Spiritual.

To kick things off, YMCA welcomed Sunshine Therapy Dogs to head office, giving staff a chance to recharge away from their desks with some furry companions.

Yamaha also recently held its annual Pre-Loved Yamaha Clothing Sale, where employees and departments donated Yamaha-branded apparel for internal purchase. This initiative gives items a second life, reduces waste and supports a meaningful charitable cause.

The clothing sale raised $1,855 with all proceeds donated to Sunshine Therapy Dogs in support of their charitable work bringing therapy dogs and volunteers to students, seniors and workplaces across the Greater Toronto Area.

The series was created to support wellbeing by encouraging healthy habits both at work and beyond. Offering activities that support different wellness areas transforms the workplace into one where everyone feels supported and empowered to thrive. From Pilates and iced coffee to a fitness bootcamp at headquarters and more, the series brings Wellness Pillars to life and creates more Kando moments together as 1Team!
