you know a peace builder? Nominate them for a YMCA Peace

The YMCAs
of Cambridge and Kitchener-Waterloo are both dedicated
to building strong, healthy communities. Many others
share this goal and are working hard to create positive
social change. We want to recognize these community
builders.

lives of others because by doing so we are celebrating
the power of peace.
