Happy International Women's Day! Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of women all around the world. This year's theme is "Embrace Equity," and we couldn't think of a more fitting message.
Equity means recognizing that every person deserves the same opportunities and resources, regardless of their gender. It means fighting for equal pay, equal rights, and equal representation in every aspect of society. It means standing up against discrimination, harassment, and violence against women.
So, let's take this day to celebrate the amazing women in our lives and reflect on how we can do our part to create a more equitable world. Let's uplift and empower each other, and work towards a future where all women can thrive.

We had SO MUCH FUN during Winter Fest 2023 at Camp Glenburn. Lots of sliding roasting marshmallows, sipping hot chocolate followed by a delicious spaghetti dinner!
We can’t wait for all the fun in store this summer!

Over 75% of people say they’ve been bullied. Over 90% of bullying incidents have peer witnesses. But when those peers intervene, most incidents are over within 10 seconds. Bullying could be happening to someone you know and care about – join us in taking a stand against bullying, show kindness, empathy, and compassion, and speak out!
Pink Shirt Day originated in Nova Scotia in 2007 when two teenage boys organized their school to wear pink shirts in support of a fellow student who was bullied for wearing one. This event has grown and is not only celebrated in Canada but also in other countries like Japan, New Zealand and Panama.
Show that you stand against bullying and be an advocate for kindness and inclusivity by wearing a Pink Shirt on Wednesday, February 22.

The third week of February is celebrated as Kindness Week in Canada. We observe World Kindness Week to highlight good deeds in our communities. Acts of kindness and goodwill are common threads that bind us.
The personal meaning of Kindness can vary from person to person. Let's see what our staff have to say!

![Last week, during the 2022 YMCA Peace Week, we sent our Y Ignite Students out to find out what Peace means to people in our community. YMCA Peace Week may only be but seven days, but it’s impact can last all year around! We encourage you to build a healthy lifestyle that includes the foundations of peace.
