The YMCA of Greater Vancouver regrets the postponement of this year’s YMCA Power of Peace Awards. Unfortunately, our keynote speaker, L. General Romeo Dallaire injured a vertebrae in a fall. Though his injury is serious, the General is expected to make a full recovery.
General Dallaire’s message is important and compelling and we are eager to have him share it with us in person.
Please continue to visit our website for updates on the re-scheduling of this event.
Peace Medals will be awarded to:
- Local Peacemaker
- International Peacemaker
- Young Peacemaker (18 yrs and under)
- Emerging Leader (19-30 yrs)
