80th Peace Park Assembly Celebration (Montana)
For some years District 5370 and District 5360 (Southern Alberta and a bit
of SK) have supported this Peace Park at the International border. Some
members have chosen to participate.
If you have members who would enjoy this, please pass this along.
In June 1932, a group of Rotarians from Alberta, Canada, and Montana, USA, made history when they convinced their respective national governments to create the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, an enduring symbol of friendship and the model for peace parks worldwide.
Authorized by the US Congress and Canada's Parliament , the Peace Park designation combines the 203-square-mile Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada with the 1,600-square-mile Glacier National Park in the United States. The arrangement allows both national parks to operate as separate entities under the peace park mantle.
Each September, the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park Association
(WGIPPA) hosts a goodwill gathering at the peace park. In even years, Rotarians from nearly 150 clubs within the 3 Districts close to the park meet on the US side, in odd years on the Canadian side.
