YMCA Peace Week is a time when we celebrate the presence of peace in our local and global communities, reflect on the peace-building work that happens all year both inside and outside the YMCA, and honour those who work for peace in our community and around the world.
In honour of Peace Week, we will be hosting a variety of activities at both Kamloops Y locations. Find out more by clicking the button below!
Peace Week Activities
More than the absence of violence and conflict, peace is the presence of conditions like fairness, inclusion, empathy, security, and respect for diversity. Peace is also the ongoing work of building and rebuilding these conditions. The YMCA is dedicated to strengthening the foundations of community -- and peace is fundamental to strong and healthy communities.
