Wylie helped save the Brockville Y in the 70's

During their Board of Directors meeting Tuesday, the YMCA of Eastern Ontario recognized longtime local broadcaster Bruce Wylie ahead of his April 7 retirement, ending a 55-year career.

When the board at the time wanted to sell, Wylie shared how he helped save the Brockville Y building in the 1970s by doing a radio-thon at the Y.

CEO Rob Adams thanked Wylie for providing him with the opportunity to talk about the Y every Monday morning.

Full version of Bruce's Y story below.

Next Tuesday, April 7, all are welcome to attend his retirement celebration at the Brockville Legion between 5 and 9 p.m.
