2026 YMCA for Peace Gala

On November 18, 2026, Théâtre Cartier will host a new edition of the YMCA for Peace Gala, presented by National Bank of Canada.

More than a fundraising dinner, this evening brings together business leaders, philanthropists, community partners, and engaged young people who share a common belief: peace is built through concrete action, commitment, and our ability to create more just, inclusive, and supportive communities.

A highlight of the event, the presentation of the YMCA Peace Medals will recognize individuals and organizations that are actively helping to build a more peaceful and equitable world.

The evening will be hosted by Mehdi Bousaidan. Known for his energy and ability to bring people together, the acclaimed comedian and actor will guide guests through an evening filled with inspiring moments and meaningful connections.
