Canada's Vimy Ridge war memorial features the statue "Breaking of the Sword." Has this peace message been eclipsed by a glorious, birth-of-a-nation war story? How can we commemorate the tragedy of World War I by emphasizing peace?  

Join us as we discuss these questions by starting a PeaceQuest affiliate in Waterloo! PeaceQuest is a grassroots organization dedicated to stimulating conversation about peace and Canada's role in peacemaking during the WW I centenaries.
