Peace Week
On September 21, 2014, the Kindred Credit Union Centre for Peace Advancement opened its doors for the first time in celebration of the International Day of Peace. Since then, the Centre has hosted Peace Week to celebrate and promote the pursuit of peace and justice in our community and around the world.
After a two years of online opportunities and small gatherings, the Centre for Peace Advancement is once again marking Peace Week by hosting a public community calendar of events and activities, chances to reflect on peace and justice in a world changed by the pandemic.
We invite you to be in community with us during #PeaceWeek2022. Take a moment to reflect on the difficult years behind us, and then look forward to the year ahead by joining us from September 17-25, 2022. You are encouraged to attend a Peace Week event and/or submit your own.

Training Active Bystanders Workshop
$20
Training Active Bystanders (TAB) empowers bystanders and gives them the competencies they need if they decide to take action when they witness something they feel is unfair, or wrong, or troubling. TAB helps participants to: analyze situations where harm may be occurring, recognize when they are bystanders, evaluate the consequences for everyone involved, and interrupt harm doing and generate positive actions by others.
More details to come.

Transforming Power, Prejudice and Privilege: Building equitable, diverse and inclusive communities and organizations
$675
Recognizing that our social structures and personal biases can get in the way of commitment to respecting our colleagues and community members, this interactive workshop will engage themes of prejudice, power and privilege in a manner that honours all voices in the room while also challenging the biases and structures that privilege some over others and that damage the possibility of healthy yet diverse relationships and communities. This workshop is designed to support leaders in business, community and faith organizations.
