Help Create a Federal Department of Peace in Canada




"The very agonies of war and the dark night of suffering that has lasted for centuries are awakening civilization to a new understanding: the peoples of the Earth have a sacred right to peace." - Senator Douglas Roche

WHO WE ARE
The Victoria chapter was formed in Fall 2003 in Victoria by a group of interested citizens who had independently considered that a Minister of Peace would be a timely addition to the federal cabinet, given the conflicted state of the world. The Ottawa chapter was struck in February 2005, following the International Consultation on Civilian Peace Service held at St. Paul University. We have enormous respect for those who have been engaged in peace work all along and look forward to working with them.

The Hon. Lloyd Axworthy, former Minister of Foreign Affairs Canada and President and Vice-Chancellor, University of Winnipeg, Dr. Paz Buttedahl, Director, Human Security and Peacebuilding Programme, Royal Roads University and Dr. Mary-Wynne Ashford, past President, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, are acting as advisors to this group. In Ottawa, the group is being advised by: Murray Thomson, O.C., Co-Founder, Project Ploughshares; Hans Sinn, founding member, Peace Brigades International (PBI) and Chair, Civilian Peace Service Canada; Dr. Peter Stockdale, President, Global Bridge, Ottawa. After discussion it was agreed that Victoria and Ottawa groups would merge their proposals into a single effort. This new proposal is the outcome of our collaboration.
