Peace promotion is urgent

By global standards, Canada is an exceptionally peaceful country. And yet hatred, extremism, polarization and violence are all trending upwards.


Globally the number of conflicts and the volume of deaths from them is rising. Peace promotion is urgent. Locally and internationally.

Defining peace

Peace is not a binary and every community is on a spectrum of peacefulness. Peace is in some ways defined by the absence of fear and violence. Positive peace is the presence of safety, equity, housing and planetary health. It is the existence of democracy, art, truth, reconciliation and community cohesion. We cannot address these matters in siloes. 


We will host exhibits and events and support groups to advance public learning and to show the links between all these themes.

Canada

Canada has a rich history of peace promotion. It is also a nation with a violent past and inequities that continue to this day. We can and should learn from success and failures.


Peace promotion is urgent - at home and globally. With your help, we can open the Canadian Peace Museum in 2026.
