The meeting will discuss major issues, beginning with forward-looking reports that are being solicited from the co-ordinators of the Working Groups of Science for Peace listed below. One of these Reports, from the Working Group on Energy, is already available, and it will give some idea of the format expected.

We shall then proceed to discuss other important issues and actions proposed by the participants. TO HAVE AN ISSUE PLACED ON THE AGENDA, write to Derek Paul at 122 Hilton Ave Toronto M5R 3E7, or email paul@physics.utoronto.ca

Please indicate your intention to attend the meeting by April 10, by contacting the above address or the Science for Peace office, so that the conference package can be mailed to you two weeks before the meeting. You are of course welcome to participate without giving prior notice. Funds are being sought to subsidize travel for members living far from Toronto. We are also prepared to seek overnight billets to assist those coming from out-of-town. There will be no charge for attendance at this meeting, though there may be a request for voluntary contributions.

E-7705 

An important e-petition about Canada peacekeepers headcount

Science for Peace believes the UN peacekeeping mission program is an important tool for minimizing conflicts around the world. Guided by impartiality and undertaken only with the consent of warring parties, missions under this program are critical in the efforts to transition violent societies to peace.

 

We know that Canada has a long history of supporting these missions and has earned a significant reputation for its expertise in this area. Thus we have been dismayed by the fact that the actual number of Canadian peacekeepers has been drastically reduced over the last decade. Despite the paucity of our country’s contribution, we know that Canada is nonetheless recognized for its leadership and know-how.

 

We want to dramatically enlarge the contingent of Canadian Peacekeepers and play our part in the worthy project of reducing violence in this turbulent world. As well, in light of ongoing changes in Peacekeeping technology, we believe Canada should invest majorly in tech training and support for our Peacekeepers, and at the same time furnish such skill development to countries less able to provide this for their own contingents.

 

To focus public attention on this critical issue, we have created an e-petition to the government and are seeking your support.

Please have a look and sign e-7705 if you agree.
