Subject: [KCUTS] Press Release - International Day of Peace

Castlegar, B.C., V1N 2X6
Date September 10, 2007
Editor: / Press Release
The United Nations has designated September 21 as the
International Day of Peace. Today, talk and the images of war
come easily, on the other hand talk and the images of peace
become increasingly awkward and difficult. When we hear of
casualties we are uncertain: did they die defending freedom? did
they die defending war?
Each year the Kootenay Region Branch of the UNAC celebrates the
International Day of Peace by a rally at the Castlegar Museum.
This year we will join with Selkirk College in their opening day
ceremonies for the Mir Centre for Peace.
Join us on Friday, September 21 at noon to 1:00 pm at the Mir
Centre for Peace adjacent to Selkirk College, Castlegar. We shall
have speakers, music and the open mic.
Join a Castlegar Tradition.
