www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday November 16, 2007 - 41 Peace at home and abroad a powerful motivator for the Y E ach of us has the power to make a peaceful difference, yet we don't always use it. The YMCA of Oakville, with YMCAs across Canada, is marking YMCA World Peace Week Nov. 17-24 by encouraging people to create peace by living it, everyday, with family, friends, neighbours and colleagues. "In today's globalized world, our many interconnections are defining the world in which we live. Our actions at home have an impact on the people elsewhere in the world. The more we understand these connections, the more empowered we become to make a positive impact, locally and around the world," says Jeanette Heywood, Vice President Membership Services and Strategic Planning, at the YMCA of Oakville. Although the YMCA incorporates peace-building activities year round, YMCA World Peace Week places special emphasis on teaching children and youth about exploring peace from a personal, community and international perspective and on recognizing the peace efforts of local residents. This year marks the 20th anniversary of recognizing community peace builders in Canada by awarding them the YMCA Peace Medallion. Since 1987, some 900 individuals and groups have received YMCA Peace Medallions during YMCA World Peace Week. "The Peace Medallion recipients have led the way in showing how any one of us has the ability or power to create positive social change without special resources. They are a tremendous inspiration and role model for improving the quality of life in a community, either at home or overseas," says Kristian Knibutat, Chair of the YMCA of Oakville Board of Directors. To commemorate the milestone, a special commemorative booklet, called Voices for Peace, was devel- oped. This resource, along with the YMCA Peace Building Activity Guide is available for download at www.ymca.ca. Since 1981, YMCA World Peace Day has been recognized annually throughout the world on the third Saturday in November. In 1984, YMCA Canada expanded on this ini- tiative by dedicating a full week. The YMCA of Oakville serves people of all backgrounds, abilities and stages of life.
