Peace Week (November 12 - 19)
2022-11-12 08:00 - 2022-11-19 17:00 | New Brunswick
​YMCA Peace Week takes place in November and is a time when we celebrate the presence of peace in our communities, and reflect on the peace-building work that happens all year both inside and outside the YMCA. The YMCA believes peace is more than the absence of violence and conflict. Peace is the ongoing work of building and rebuilding conditions of fairness, inclusion, empathy, security, and respect for diversity. When Canadians embody the values of PEACE through our daily actions, we can build a better Canada.
Each year, YMCAs across Canada celebrate acts of peace by recognizing individuals or groups who, without any special resources, status, wealth or position, have demonstrated a commitment to building peace within our community. ​​
Please join us for a Peace Week flag raising at City Hall on Monday, November 14 at 11:00 a.m.

The YMCA of Fredericton believes everyone should learn to enjoy the water safely. Learning to swim is a critical life skill, and it is never too early or too late to start! That’s why we include swimming lessons with every membership. Teaching children, teens, and adults water skills and safety is one of the most important programs our YMCA can provide. It not only saves lives, it builds confidence!
Be water safe, Be water smart! See our swimming lesson schedule for the summer session here:
Swimming Programs – Summer ’22 – YMCA of Fredericton
Here are some YMCA Water Safety Tips you can do to keep your family safe:

Always supervise children when they are near or in the water: in the pool or at the beach.
Be careful when swimming near strong currents in the ocean. It only takes a second to be swept away.
Do not allow children to dive in headfirst unless they are properly trained and the water is deep enough.
Ensure non-swimmers are always wearing a PFD when near or in the water.
Make sure children play with care and understand the dangers. Even the friendliest dunking game can be risky.
Floatation devices aren’t a replacement for supervision. Make sure an adult is watching at all times.
Be proactive and get trained on First Aid and CPR.
If you have a swimming pool, make sure your children cannot get into the pool area by having proper fencing and a childproof gate.
Lifejackets have weight limits. Make sure your lifejacket or PFD is comfortable and light, fits snug and does not ride above your ears. Not sure if it’s fitting properly? A YMCA lifeguard would be happy to check if for you.
Make sure the entire family learns to swim! There is no substitute for knowing how to swim.

Important Dates:
Aqua Fundraiser: Saturday, June 18, from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Registration for Summer Swimming Lessons: Starts on Monday, June 20
Pool Maintenance Shut-down: June 20 – June 26

YMCA Peace Week
2020-11-14 - 2020-11-21 | New Brunswick
About YMCA Peace Week
Peace is more than the absence of violence and conflict. Peace is the ongoing work of building and rebuilding conditions of fairness, inclusion, empathy, security, and respect for diversity.
YMCA Peace Week is celebrated the third week of November to recognize the work that happens year-round to build peace in our communities, both inside and outside the YMCA. At the YMCA, we are committed to doing this work as a healthy community cannot exist without the presence of peace for all. We invite you to join us in embodying the values of PEACE through your daily actions. Together, we can build a better Canada.
Peace is an active state of being, not a passive one. Together, let’s build community.
#Act for Peace.
