VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - They promote peace and
they are coming to our city. The Vancouver Peace
Summit will bring the likes of Archbishop Desmond
Tutu and the Dalai Lama to town this fall.

Landmines activist Jody Williams, Irish peace
proponents Mairead Maguire, Betty Williams,

themes of peace, education, interfaith harmony,
women and peacebuilding, and youth.
