Undercover Boss - YMCA Canada S4 E5 (Canadian TV series)

Scott Haldane, the National CEO of YMCA Canada gets a full head of hair for the first time in 30 years, when he works in disguise in his own organization. But, as he meets his workers and gets to understand the realities of their working lives, he realizes he's also on a very personal journey of discovery.

[@rossdenholm7501]

Best episode ever. Love the YMCA. Swimming lessons as a child translated to being a swim instructor there as a young adult. One of the few organizations that has it right. ❤️

[@Veirud]

Wow!!! This is by far the best episode I have ever seen!!! So inspirational in so many ways!!!! ❤❤

[@EdwinaTS]

A very moving story about Canada's YMCA. This video demonstrates a high quality leadership in the organization which has and will continue to have very worthwhile roles to play.

[@rhondakennedy819]

I have to say this is my favorite Undercover Boss! The employees & boss were all great

[@bb3ca201]

On my God, the brothers look identical! Incredible! Beautiful episode 🤗

[@WhispersFromTheDark]

That CEO is such s nice guy..I would be honored to work for someone like him.

[@danamiller4867]

I loved this episode! Their passion and giving spirits truly shined. It warmed my heart and really inspired me.

[@CheeseballPax-iw3br]

Shouldn't give spirits Especially if they are driving Spirits make you very drunk very quickly 😣😓😰😨😱🤮🤢😡😠

[@moonkissed3033]

This is the best undercover boss I am touched by what he did for his employees I would be honored to work at the YMCA!!

[@rinimoon8497]

Kila Morgan I do work at the YMCA and I am so honoured to work there

[@Bigloserbox]

You could say, it's fun to work at the Yyyy Mmmm Ccccc Aaaaaaa

[@MRRUSSIAN123]

YMCA pays their employees like garbage to

[@tysonrinker5958]

Wewould love to hire you baby gurl

[@Hummingbird-yu3kt]

He kept saying "This would never have happened between the national CEO and frontline workers/volunteers"...I hope he realizes that he is creating his own boundaries and roadblocks there because CEOs CAN and SHOULD spend time with all levels of their organization. To lead, you must know how to be lead.

[@payableondeath9091]

Its funny how most of them reacted different when they found out who he was, some ppl are really caught up on titles

[@davidwheeler8870]

This Man when he brought his BIG BROTHER TO THAT OTHER MAN AS A GIFT. OUT FOR DINNER I WAS IN TEARS.

[@katied5314]

I don't know why this was recommended to me, but I'm glad it was!

[@KillJoy_Since2017]

[@FigaroHey]

With the center part and the small eyes, he looks like Robin Williams's brother.

[@pasuniban342]

great president.. understand his employees..salute u man..hope yr company more success in business..👍👍🙏🙏🙏

[@camon2wheels587]

Not gonna lie if I were the boss I would've bought an that guy with a missing leg a prosthetic as a gift for being a great employee

[@KnightOfSummer1995]

That's very insensitive, that's why you're not a boss

[@L3ttuc3]

Never met anyone in upper management that was sensitive enough to consider either side of this argument lol. Probably a different reason OP isn't the boss I suspect.

[@sheristewart3940]

XxSniperElite20 Civ-641, Right!? I thought about it, and realized that maybe if there isn't enough of a stump left, then a prosthetic has nothing on which to attach. The biggest flaw was Bob/Scott didn't do anything about the lack of a safety harness that he griped about while on the ladder adjusting the canvas teepee cover. As the COO, he has to dish out the bad, as well as the good.

[@karmicsbest]

nice talkers are always cheap.

[@karmicsbest]

honestly thought he would give them monetary help but turned out cheap national ceo.

[@gigatronicdeth]

I worked at silver lake with Stuart as a chef. One of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. Super cool guy.

[@fpinzow]

Andrew is a really terrific human being, and the Y is very lucky to have him.

[@joeyboone3680]

Honestly he looks like a completely different person with hair. He doesn't look 60 at all with hair. Caught me off guard

[@comment.highlighted]

I wiped my teary eyes the whole episode 🥲

[@CheeseballPax-iw3br]

😭 no way 😢

[@comment.highlighted]

@@CheeseballPax-iw3br You and me both 🥲

[@benhaney5843]

Damn, lost his leg to a damn thorn bush thorn. Also, I think a prosthetic leg would and should have been an OBVIOUS gift at the end.

[@crowsojourner2272]

The man may not have wanted one, or it may not have been possible to attach one without carving off more of his leg.

[@charlleedodson]

You can’t just give someone a prosthetic. It’s a process to get it fitted. However, he could have donated money to get him a new prosthetic if he could.

[@msjkramey]

@Crow They shape the prosthetic to you, not the other way around and nothing is glued lol. You put it on when you wake up, take breaks as needed, and take it off for bed. It's like shoes--you even wear a "sock" for padding and to help with chafing

[@CheeseballPax-iw3br]

Might as well given a stick and a parrot 🐦 ☠️ 🐦

[@p.r.pursell3669]

awesome looking for 60 bro stay young at heart.

[@kathrenlittle]

Robin Williams with that hair!

[@basicindiebro]

true lmao

[@skidzkeepitstreet7499]

Kat Lofton I was gunna comment this lol

[@kittyblingbling]

I saw Martin Short!! LOL

[@mikeyliberti4137]

Nah its Bob Saget

[@sonovabyss]

The CEO seems like such a nice guy and I'd love to work with him tbh

[@aljabirxiju9475]

you want a sugar daddy lol

[@leslygibbs5343]

They didn’t really give them personal help in my opinion. Since he lost his leg with the YMCA I feel they could have gotten him a prosthetic leg. That was sad to me..

[@adamguymon7096]

42:40 If you want to truly make the sign-up process more accessible you would acquire some tablets that are connected to your system and then when someone comes in they can select their language and if they are blind they can have it verbally read to them with voiceover or talkback. If this was in all of the locations then no matter where someone goes they will be able to have the same equal access.

[@shamusjourney9375]

Best episode ever!

[@jimellison777]

LOVED IT.............

[@AlyssaGreenWalk]

did anyone else start crying when the brother walked in??

[@patriciawickholm3617]

They look alike!!!

[@aljabirxiju9475]

no i didn't. not at all.

[@janetdavies9056]

I’d really love to see a program of undercover boss when they work with the incompetent staff that we know every company employs

[@carebear-fox]

When he brought out the brother. Yikes someone started cutting onions around here

[@essten94]

I always come to the comments first so I’m not disappointed by cheap bosses

[@sandrahorton5857]

Awwww what sweet people

[@breneganmcnulty6324]

Omg I worked as a lifeguard at a ymca in Calgary. This is my first time seeing this 😭

[@jg0346]

Great show but the music tends to block out the talking.

[@TheJaqio]

that Y daycare worker is sooooo cute 😍 oh the boss was nice great show blah blah blah (😜)

[@cheremayajohnson8515]

Awwww awesome 🌟❤️🙏🏿

[@pegintx]

That was a sweet one.

[@ang12345ie]

When I used to go to the YMCA daycare we had a granola bar for snack, and definitely didn't get to cook.

[@mjb12141963]

One guy gets a forklift and the other got Feng Shui!

[@kris0369]

What happened to the last story cut off how dare .........

[@AirsoftFD]

In America, climbing that high on a ladder without being harnessed in will get you slapped with a huge OSHA fine

[@brysoncherry9884]

Yeah so they can stick their nose in even though the employee clearly consented.

[@fpinzow]

@@brysoncherry9884 If he hadn't the episode would have been over, and his identity would have been exposed.

[@sabahchai306]

Canada is nice places. I hope can't visit there soon.

[@ilovemycolliejoey]

Canadian YMCAs are so much nicer and built up than in the US!

[@quickchris10comcast]

? Where do you live/how many have you visited? We have some beautiful YMCAs in Minnesota. Back in the '80's, when I first started using the Y, it was a pretty old Y in Austin, Texas. So, maybe it's an older organization in the US, so the facilities maybe can be more dated.

[@quickchris10comcast]

Well, reading up on the YMCA on Wiki, it says that YMCAs opened both in Canada (Montreal) and US (Boston) in December1851. Actually, Montreal was first (Dec. 9,) and Boston Dec. 29. So, IDK. Canada's has had better leadership, apparently.

[@All_you_need_is_love2018]

It really depends where you live. YMCA depends on private donations and the support of local patrons to meet its annual expenses. The YMCA in Beverly Hills is super nice.

[@kevinbrunz9207]

This one kind of passes off how do you judge volunteers when you make millions

[@jessicabenard6855]

We lost one in ontario canada but not many are left and that's in the niagara region

[@katepine]

i love it so much

[@theperson403]

He a true Mrs Doubt fire in the making

[@katepine]

i love undercover boss i love it

[@relcychoho]

what great stories - "What about Bob?" best story

[@CheeseballPax-iw3br]

He sells burgers 🍔

[@gurudru1977]

when your member of the ymca...the fee is taken out automatically...monthly as you would expect. if you decide to discontinue they let you but then... as of feb 2021 theres a $75 rejoin fee...total and complete cash grab #1 reason why i am never re-joining

[@drcandor]

Timeless stories

[@mikeberry1890]

It seems like the businesses in Canada do not offer as much to there employees as in America.

[@Jon-xl6hh]

You lost me at the C in YMCA, sorry Not my twang, but I love all of you !

[@tinaandersen3270]

What about the safety? What about the lack of staff?

[@chantellylace4174]

Hahaha yeah right!

[@CheeseballPax-iw3br]

Just for laughs.....

[@patticooper4974]

A bobcat and no new truck?

[@BENNYYKWAI]

Why do all these undercover companies don't know how their operation is running ? What system do they have ?

[@paullie1963]

Makes me have a different look at what the YMCA is all about

[@rrocketwhite]

Yep. Good old YMCA. Where all the perverts and sickles like to hang out. Good place.

[@skyseptembr1]

dang no money? they can go to a meeting to get those things nothing for what they have really done! cheap skates!!

[@BeeTeaDubs]

They always freak out about people finding out they're wearing a wig, that millions of people wear everyday. or learning their real first name. Scott is a common first name. They probably had another Scott working there! He would of been better off to leave it be or use his fake last name. He wasn't going to hear Scott and think "Our CEO is named Scott! This is Undercover Boss!" I think it's more of a giveaway when they use the exact same cover story every time "A competitor on a reality show trying to find a new career".

[@monaj33]

This woman listed 100 family members that died ..lol

[@harrisonkatzz7090]

Your Board should go to the YMCA they need help .

[@yk-zu7tr]

He was so cheap he didn't give them any money

[@camptube7621]

It’s a charity.

[@margolenney6032]

Is she going to Louisa’s? X

[@rayleenharris922]

Ymca is all about the big corporate and what they can get.not to help out less fortunate

man i remember when my school used to do taco in a bag cept we did it with doritos

[@whp61]

It's RobinnWilliams with out a doubt.

[@ralphlyda4545]

Robin Williams, without a Doubtfire.

[@benhaney5843]

Gifts were kind of lackluster, from a monetary point of view. But it is a non profit so I understand. The gifts were well thought out and sweetly personal though. So kudos.

[@benhaney5843]

Although come on! Buy the guy a prosthetic leg!

[@newsdivisionmedia]

Is it "YOUNG MEN CHRISTION ASSOSIATION "???

[@rachellivingstone140]

*me being from east van and knowing exactly their locations at all times* >

[@zonkercousteau]

It's too bad they only concentrated on 2 provinces. Also the YMCA talks a good game when it comes to involving frontline workers with getting to improve services but in my experience that wasn't the case very often. Still, all in all, I enjoyed my time working for the YMCA.

[@katepine]

why

[@zonkercousteau]

Why what ?

[@llaming4055]

I didn't enjoy working for them.. absolutely terrible experience!

[@memelord8214]

Lla Ming what happend

[@vilmat.gonzalez2759]

I don't get what your talking about...

[@PizzAzzC]

The YMCA is the best

[@dagmarheinz9160]

not paying for this young men to get a prosthetic made , or paying for surgeries and prosthetic changes and time to heal after surgeries is an insult to the young men. I was married to an soldier who lost his leg in a war , so I know what I am talking about , this young men does not need to stay in a wheel chair !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am mad , sorry

[@crowsojourner2272]

Maybe it was his own decision to not get one.

[@charlleedodson]

He may not want a prosthetic

[@danthomson1182]

Ive been to silver lake as a boy. Nice place. From kelowna!

[@caitlinroberts7525]

At 27:09 there’s a girl wearing a one direction shirt and I literally can’t

[@sapphiredivine172]

I thought he'd give them money at least like other ceo's and/or paid trips too

[@katepine]

awesome greT

[@sabahetaalic123]

Shoulda got the guy a new leg lol

[@bubbles9975]

Why did u want to stop 🛑 making videos here?? 🤷🏼‍♀️😭

[@bonniegodbey6554]

Did anyone noticed Stuart Bob where's Kevin

[@desdicadoric]

I hear it’s fun to stay at the ymca

[@minananananan1842]

Working at the Y is the worst thing ever

[@jeromecooper3531]

Thanks for canandian health care.. He should be walking on a prosthetic leg.. so much for government health care? Hello!!!

[@rubyszpeflicki3800]

Just like medications you have to pay for prosthetics...

[@charlleedodson]

He may not want one

[@andrewhildreth9645]

Okay... they have 40,000 staff/volunteers and 51 locations??? That’s 784 people per branch... that doesn’t seem right lol

[@quickchris10comcast]

Well, since most are parttime/seasonal, maybe that has an impact.

[@comfortouch]

How many of them are working at corporate?

[@andyrojas289]

I want to work for the ymca

Birds EAT SEEDS!!!!!!!!

[@carmencitadavis3751]

Why didn't they have on plastic gloves when they were preparing the food

[@msjkramey]

It's not required everywhere for food prep. Lots of ppl are less likely to wash their hands when wearing gloves and theres more kitchen injuries

[@elainesgardeningandc0oking53]

IF YMCA is a 'charity'---- then why do people have to pay to join?

[@neldadowney5193]

I knowest that he doesn't have a scooter I think that would be better for him to get around the y big area that is there

[@SheriHinkle-yz2jk]

He n0w reminds of Robin Williams...

[@ll-corp9832]

Is he doing this change for everyone?! Or just one location because that’s not good leadership

[@cherrybpositivevibes6477]

YMCA in San Antonio Texas was waste of money and time. thing's I liked wasn't working. swimming team didn't even teach kids to dive into the pool before first swim meet. coach was ex Olympic swimmer quit in middle of lessons. the worker's where kind and the helpers kept swimming team going. staff is amazing. place needs huge updates. bigger indoor pool and bigger building for. kids to play inside.
