SUMMARY:Is Canada on Track for Justice? Fall Action Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Development and Peace — Caritas Canada\, the official international development organization of the Catholic Church in Canada\, is a democratic movement for global solidarity rooted in Catholic Social Teaching. We address the root causes of poverty\, oppression and inequality by working with partners in the Global South and by mobilizing Canadians in the common struggle for justice and the dignity of the human person. \nThis fall\, we encourage you to take part in our Is Canada on Track for Justice campaign to call on the Government of Canada to increase funding for official development assistance at a time when the world is facing multiple crises and aid for impoverished countries is becoming increasingly scarce. \nPlease join us for our Fall Action Workshop on Saturday\, October 17th \, from 9:30am to 2:15pm (lunch included) at Immaculate Conception Parish (8842 119 th Street\, Delta). \nTogether\, let’s make international solidarity a priority. \nFor more info\, please contact Raphael Freston at rfreston@devp.org \nTo learn more\, visit devp.org/campaign.

SUMMARY:#NoWar2026 Conference: Beyond Borders
DESCRIPTION:#NoWar2026 Conference: Beyond Borders\nA Global Online Conference Unpacking How the War System Drives Displacement & Militarizes Borders \nFriday\, October 23 – Sunday\, October 25\, 2026 on Zoom\nJoin World BEYOND War’s annual global conference #NoWar2026: Beyond Borders on October 23-25\, hosted on Zoom. \nWar and militarism drive people from their homes\, causing mass displacement. And the very same weapons companies profiting from war and conflict cash in when governments militarize borders and block the movement of people fleeing violence. Throughout three days of panels\, workshops\, and breakout rooms\, the #NoWar2026 Conference will examine the interconnections of the war system\, migration\, and the border industry\, with case studies from around the world. \n#NoWar2026 will create a space for global dialogue among activists\, organizers\, researchers\, and educators to share lived experiences\, learn from each other\, and strategize for a world beyond the violence of both war and borders. \nGet Tickets & Learn More here!\n
