Red Triangle and
Leader to Watch Awards

The YMCA of Southwestern New Brunswick values the significant contributions that individuals have made in our society. Since 1990, the Y has been recognizing individuals that have made a difference in the community.

The Red Triangle Award is presented in recognition of long and meritorious volunteer service, outstanding contributions and achievement within the Y or in the community. The recipient of this award has been an active volunteer and demonstrated a commitment to the community throughout their lifetime. They have made a difference to Canadian society.

The Leader to Watch Award is presented to an individual, 35 years or younger, who is a role model for youth in our community. This person demonstrates skills, enthusiasm and leadership in their work, in educational settings and as a volunteer in the community.

Many of the past recipients continue to serve the community on a daily basis. Their commitment and dedication continues to inspire others to follow in their footsteps and it is very important that these extraordinary people be recognized.

Third Party Fundraising

Donations provided an opportunity to send children from southwestern New Brunswick to camp, help a child from a priority neighbourhood learn to swim, support seniors or give parents a piece of mind knowing their children are in a safe place while they work. The Strong Communities Campaign supports all ages and stages. No one is turned away from the Y.

We can’t do this work alone! When you support the Y, you are helping to build healthy communities, where everyone belongs. There are many ways to get involved – and the impact you, your business or your group of friends can make is life changing.
