During YMCA Peace Week from November 16-23, our YMCA, together with YMCAs across Canada, are 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.
Peacebuilding is core to the YMCA’s commitment to igniting the potential in people and part of the YMCA of Owen Sound Grey Bruce’s year-round programs.
This year, we are hosting a few events to #buildcommunity and #actforpeace.
We hope you will participate and join the conversation on our social media! Share your #actforpeace and tag us @YMCAOSGB, so we can celebrate the presence of peace with you!
