A Year of Remembrance, Action, and Possibility
Peace is not a single day — it is a practice woven through every month of the year. This calendar brings together United Nations international days related to peace, human rights, nuclear disarmament, and climate justice, alongside key Canadian peace events and observances.
We share this calendar as an invitation: to mark these days with awareness, to find moments for reflection and action, and to connect our local work here in Nova Scotia to the broader global movement for a more just and peaceful world.
Whether you’re an educator planning lessons, an activist looking for hooks to organize around, or a community member wanting to stay connected to what matters — we hope this calendar becomes a useful companion throughout the year.
