RESPECT Peace Rally

On May 20, 2007 two speakers from ECAWAR took part in a peace rally at the Legislature: Peggy Morton and Dr. Tony Simmons. One Right, One Race, One Reason: RESPECT was a peace rally to raise awareness within the community about mutual respect as there is a constant increase in social diversity which in turn will make Edmonton a more dynamic and vibrant city. The event was presented by The Islamic Family Social Services Association (IFSSA) and the Northern Alberta Alliance on Race Relations (NAARR).
