Each year, YMCAs across Canada celebrate acts of peace by recognizing individuals and groups who, without any special resources, status, wealth or position, have demonstrated a commitment to building peace within their community or communities elsewhere in the world. During YMCA Peace Week, which will take place from November 16-22, 2024, local peacemakers will receive special recognition and a medal at Peace Medal ceremonies across Canada.  Nominations are closed for this year – stay tuned for an announcement in the coming days on this year’s recipients!
