Peace Week
What is YMCA Peace Week?
Since 1984, YMCAs across Canada have spent the third week in November organizing special activities to engage children, youth and adults in exploring peace from a local and global perspective. Annually, YMCA Peace Week brings Associations together with international partner YMCAs and hundreds of school and community partners in a program that highlights our common interest in creating a more just and peaceful world.
The YMCA believes there will be peace when all of our basic needs as living beings are met and all of our basic rights as human beings are recognized and respected.
