Peace Builders Award 2024

Datum

It is with great honor that the Collectif 21 Septembre, of which Initiatives of Change Canada is a founding member, received the inaugural Peace Builders Award in the “Collaboration” category on October 2.

The Collectif is composed of Religions for Peace Quebec, Initiatives of Change Canada, the Centre Marie-Gérin-Lajoie, and the Maison de l’Amitié.

This award, established by the Network for Peace and Social Harmony to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Peace Days, recognizes our ongoing efforts to raise public awareness of peace issues every September 21 for over a decade.

On behalf of the Collectif, Pascale Frémond of Religions for Peace Quebec expressed gratitude to the Network for Peace and Social Harmony during her acceptance speech. She mentioned late Laurent Gagnon, the dedicated representative of Initiatives of Change who was succeeded by Joseph Vumiliya and she acknowledged the outstanding collaboration of all representatives from the member organizations, which had been key to the success of the Peace Days initiative.
