YMCA Northumberland is celebrating Peace Week this week.
Together with YMCAs across Canada, they’re celebrating the presence of peace in our communities, and reflecting on the peace building work that happens all year both inside and outside the YMCA.
They’re keeping with the International Day of Peace theme of “End racism. Build peace,” and working to develop an anti-racist lens to understand conflicts taking place around the globe.
A special highlight of this week is the presentation of the YMCA Peace Medal to an individual or group
who, demonstrates a commitment to peace through individual contributions made within their local, national, or global community. The ceremony will be held on November 16th.
For more information on Peace Week, you can contact Raff Melito Manager, Marketing + Communications at raff.melito@nrt.ymca.ca.
