Why are we planning to build the Pugwash Peace Exchange?
First of all, we want to honour the role that Pugwash has played in world events that supports our proud slogan: “Pugwash: World Famous for Peace.” Peace is the greatest gift that we can give to our fellow human beings, and we want to create a place where everybody can learn how to contribute towards a more peaceful world. There are many people in the world today who are not as fortunate as we Canadians. Their lives, homes and loved ones are perpetually in danger from the fighting that is occurring on their home soil. By helping to educate people on how to work toward peace, we hope that people in war-torn countries will someday enjoy the same peace and freedom that we do.
