  1. Dear festival event organizers and supporters,

    Our heartfelt appreciation to you and your teams for making the 12-day Peace Festival a success. The 29 events this year were a record. They dealt with reconciliation, disarmament, and climate change. Their success resulted from conviction and cooperation on respective initiatives under the festival's broad theme of "Peacing together the Canada we want".

    The topic of stewardship of Mother Earth percolated throughout the Festival with a reminder that time has come for us settlers of the Turtle Island to value the wisdom of its indigenous people and their cultures. Also, that culture of peace must be nurtured at home first before we can in a meaningful way promote it abroad.

    Our publicity and your efforts e.g. including the program on your websites and FB pages, was greatly aided by the peace festival webmaster Andrei Conovoloff. Colleague Koozma Tarasoff is busy writing his festival feature with photos that he will soon circulate (most photos are already uploaded on our festival blogsitewww.ottawapeacefestival.blogspot.com). Our grateful thanks to Koozma and Andrei.

    Looking forward to seeing you again in April/May next year to prepare for our 9th Peace Festival. Until then our best wishes in your important work for nonviolent peace.

    With deep gratitude,
    In Unity of Peace,

    Bill Bhaneja and Peter Stockdale

  3. And THANK YOU ALL for all the hard work and dedication that you show not only in organizing this Peace Festival (which I know is a huge undertaking), but in being the role models and passionate advocates for this culture of peace.

    We felt honoured to be a part of it.

    With love and gratitude,
