Peace Train Canada

Peace Trainers participated in a rally and walk for peace on Oct. 31 in Ottawa. The rally was held at the Peacekeeping monument, with singing and remarks by Walter Dorn, before the group walked to and around the Cenotaph and then made their way to Parliament Hill.

A new all-party peace caucus will be created for members of Parliament and start meeting before the end of the year.   That announcement was made Oct. 29 by Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party of Canada and member of Parliament for Saanich—Gulf Islands in B.C.   “We need to find ways to raise peace issues in Parliament,” said May, speaking at an event in Ottawa organized by Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) Canada and the Canadian Friends Service Committee.
