YMCA Peace Week is less than a month away and local officials are looking for peacemakers to honour.

That’s the word from Marketing and Communications Manager Liam Cullin.

He says YMCA Peace Week goes November 16th to the 20th and they’re accepting nominations for YMCA Peace Medallions, which will be handed out on Friday November 20th.

Medallions go to a group or individual who, without any special resources, demonstrates a commitment to the values of peace through contributions locally, nationally or globally.

The deadline for nominations is this Friday (Oct 30th).

Since 1987, over 1,500 people and groups across Canada have been recognized as YMCA Peace Medallion recipients.
