It sounds like the Y is the problem. Why do they need to take physical possession of your Operators License when you drop-in for a work out? Its one thing if they need you to fill out some personal info and verify the information be examining your license since your going to be using their facilities. But to hold on to your License? I wouldnt be surprised if a mixup such as you encountered happens every so often. The system needs to be changed instead of the employee being fired.

Here's the difference. You don't have to sign up for anything online, you can ask to be unlisted. What you do with your information is up to you. When you leave your information in the hands of someone else (ie- YMCA, bank, video rental store, etc) as far as I know, it's a serious matter if they give your information out to other sources without your knowledge.
It's one thing for a telemarketer to pick up a phone book and start calling. It's way different for an employee of a gym to give your DL to someone else.
When I worked at the bank, I got in trouble for hinting something vauge about one of my clients to another of my clients, without going into specific details at all.
I wouldn't be surprised if the OP could escalate this, turn it into a legal matter if he wanted to.
I'm not the one who makes the rules, or defines what violates privacy laws. I'm just saying that I would assume that this would fall under a violation.

The staff (Management) at the YMCA said this has never happened before, they weren't even sure what to do.
I was in the process of writing a nasty reply to this thread (after wasting an hour of my time at the EC Y with no result), when the manager called and said he tracked my license down.
I'm wondering if I should report this issue to someone higher up at the YMCA from this list?

I may also attempt to contact the alberta privacy commissioner, as I'm sure this is a clear violation.
