At peace . . .
YMCA marks Peace Week
Posted 2 months ago
Putting thoughts of global peace into action is the focus of this year's YMCA World Peace Week theme, "Think it, Say it, Do it".
The YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka, together with YMCAs across Canada, is inspiring and empowering kids, youth and adults to make a positive impact especially during this week.
Although peace building is part of the YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka's year round programs, extra emphasis is placed on exploring peace on many different levels especially with children and youth. A special highlight of the week is the awarding of the YMCA Peace Medal to an individual or group who, without any special resources, demonstrate a commitment to peace through special contributions made within their community or overseas.
