Science For Peace AGM

May 1, 1986
1 min read

May 10, 1986, 2pm Combination Room Trinity College, University of Toronto

Chapters

The Ottawa Chapter has successfully completed its trial run of giving a peace award at the Ottawa Regional Science Fair. Joined by INPUT, Educa­ting for Peace and an anonymous donor, we gave awards of $100 each in two age categories. Winners were A. Johnson (Junior Physical Science), “Les agents preservatifs de nourriture chimique, physique et naturel”, and M. O’Brecht (Intermediate Engineering),“Windmills, Sail Wing and the Edmo Rotor”.

In cooperation with the Youth Science Foundation we shall now pro­ceed with setting up a major award at the National Science Fair in 1987. This must involve selection and nomination of suitable projects from regional Science Fairs by our chapters and members, whom we shall contact in the next few months.

– J.M. Neelin

The New Brunswick Chapter has in­volved itself in the same program — we look forward to sharing their report in the next issue.

Toronto Chapter’s AGM (May 1) saw the election of a new executive: Chester Sadowski, chairman; Terry Gardner, v. chair; Arnold Simoni, v. chair; Phyllis Creighton, secretary; John Buttrick remains treasurer.

The Chapter’s very successful lec­ture series which it co-sponsors with the Toronto Chapters of PSR and Lawyers for Social Responsibility will continue through May.

Visit The Exhibit At Robarts Library Before The Annual Meeting On May 10. 2 pm.

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.
