The YMCA Peace Medallion Award recognizes individuals who have shown a commitment to peace through personal contributions made within their community. Peace Medallions are awarded in communities across the GTA during YMCA World Peace Week: November 18-25, 2006.

We honour individuals who are peacemakers, working in a volunteer capacity towards peaceful solutions to violence, conflict, discrimination and injustice; who have had a significant impact on the lives of others in their community, but without any special recognition or special resources.

Past recipients come from all walks of life yet they are united in their active commitment to creating a culture of peace.
