YMCAs of Québec - September 14 2018

On October 10, the YMCAs of Québec revealed its 2018 Peace Medal finalists at an event celebrating the International Day of Peace.

Sophie Brochu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Énergir, along with other laureates, also received an honorary YMCA Peace Medal for her commitment to young people in the community.  

Hosted by Isabelle Racicot, the award ceremony took place during the YMCA Peace Medal gala dinner presented by Desjardins, the most important peace event in Québec for the benefit of children, young people and families at the YMCA. 

Following the footsteps of past laureates, such as Maestro Kent NaganoGrégory Charles, Simple Plan, Senator Roméo Dallaire and Michèle Thibodeau-Deguire, the YMCA Peace Medal finalists remind us that there are exceptional people who are committed to peace in Québec.
