Do you know someone in your community who has done amazing work? Nominate them for a YMCA Peace Medal!
We have seen a great deal of generosity, compassion and kindness since this year’s Southern Alberta Flood Emergency. A YMCA Peace Medal nomination is a great way to recognize someone for their efforts in making our world a better place. Nominations also helps create awareness about community needs and inspires others to get involved.
Help YMCA Calgary celebrate and honour outstanding Calgarians. The recipients will be honoured at the 2013 Peace Medals event happening on Thursday, November 21, 2013, during YMCA Peace Week. YMCA Calgary invites people of all ages to reflect on peace, to talk, and to take action, individually and with others.
“We each have a role to play in promoting peace,” said Helene Weir, YMCA Calgary President and CEO. “The 2013 Peace Medals recipients inspire us all to think about how we can make our community a better place.”
YMCA Calgary celebrates YMCA World Peace Week each November. This year’s theme, “Join the Peace Movement. Think it, Say it, Do it!” encourages all Canadians to get involved in helping to build peace. YMCA Calgary strives to recognize local peace builders, create awareness about local and international needs, and inspire everyone to take action.
Wow! This is amazing! Plus I went to Vincent Massey too and know about Legacy and its members!
