UN International Day of Peace
to be celebrated on
September 21st, 2019
Tai Chi Garden, Prince Arthur’s Landing
In keeping with Rotary’s mandate of promoting global peace the three Rotary Clubs of Thunder Bay have installed a Peace Pole. It is one of 250,000 planted worldwide. The Peace Pole has been inscribed with “May Peace Prevail on Earth” in English, French and Ojibwa. The site of Thunder Bay’s Peace Pole overlooks our amazing Sleeping Giant at Prince Arthur’s Landing.
Along with the Peace Pole a commemorative plaque has also been installed. It’s inscription - “With Mutual Respect – We Live With Others in Peace”.
We hope that these wonderful symbols will strengthen the ideals of peace both within and among all nations and peoples worldwide and in our own community.
Worldwide peace is celebrated on September 21st -which is the UN International Day of Peace. This serves as a reminder to all peoples to reflect and encourage all mankind to work in cooperation for the global goal of peace.
The Rotary Clubs of Thunder Bay will hold their third annual Peace Day Ceremony on Saturday, September 21st, 2019 from 11:00 am to noon.
We would love to see you there!
