The recipient of the 2012 YMCA Calgary Peace Medal for Humanitarian goes to Doctor Salim Mawani.
Dr. Salim Mawani is a retired medical physician who has dedicated his time to help in the settlement process of new immigrant families, primarily from Afghanistan. Through his own initiative, Dr. Mawani has worked extensively with hundreds of families and has helped children and youth realize their full potential.

For the past seven years, Dr. Mawani has worked tirelessly and selflessly every day in becoming a significant part of the lives of these youth and has shown amazing dedication, spirit and commitment. The results he continues to achieve with youth and their families have seen no boundaries.
Doctor Salim Mawani embodies peace and commitment to others in his everyday life. We recognize Doctor Mawani as a humanitarian and for the tremendous impact he has made on youth and our community.
