Thanks to the Retiring Editor

Dec 1, 1992
1 min read

This is an opportunity to thank Alan Weatherley, the past editor of the Bulletin. Alan, of the Life Sciences Dept. (Biology) shouldered the considerable burden of editing the Bulletin (as well as much of the writing) between June 1989 and November 1991. He was assisted on the production end by Charles Dyer of Astronomy.

Those who have worked over the years with Alan and Bobby Weatherley know that their involvement with and commitment to Science for Peace, both as Board members, Alan as Editor of the Bulletin, and Bobby as Treasurer, have made a significant contribution to our ongoing quest for peace.

Alan is planning to retire in 1993 and is fully occupied getting many things completed before that time. Bobby is sorting out a family estate in New Brunswick. Science for Peace misses their contribution, and hopes that they will find time to be active in this major cause in the future.

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.
