Our peace program provides a window through which youth, young adults, and all Albertans can engage in thinking, talking and living peacemaking. This is done through various programs and learning opportunities.

Planting Peace: A two-week cross-cultural program, designed to train, equip and encourage 10 international and 10 local young adults to be peace promoters in their home communities. 

CASA: a local learning and service tour in Calgary that provides groups with a first-hand look at poverty and homelessness.

Building Bridges: Building Bridges (North Edmonton Ministry - NEM) works at building cultural and faith-based bridges with people from around the world, sharing hospitality, outreach, and service.
