The YMCAs of Cambridge and Kitchener-Waterloo each seek nominations for a YMCA Peace Medallion of individuals and groups who are making a difference in our neighbourhoods, schools, workplaces, and communities or across the world.


Nominations are being accepted in three categories: Strong Kid, Strong Role Model, Strong Community.

Strong Kid: This category recognizes young people under 19 years old who are acting today to change our world rather than waiting to be a leader of tomorrow.

Strong Role Model: An adult (19 years +) who inspires others—especially kids—by demonstrating how we can all be socially responsible.

Strong Community: A group can make a difference by thinking globally or acting locally. It could be a Waterloo Region based group or a local branch of a national or international organization.

The nominee must be in a volunteer role and can only be nominated in one category.

Nominations are open until October 19, and can be made at www.kwymca.org.
