Speak up for Peace! Join us at City Hall on June 15 for a bevy of peace activists!
Make our voices heard!

Everyone is welcome to make 5-minute presentations to Councillors at their Corporate Services Committee Meeting

Let's ensure that our elected officials hear all of the best arguments against allowing the return of international weapons trade shows to publicly-funded municipal property!

Pack the City Council Chamber, AGAIN:  Whether you speak or not, please consider attending this important meeting on June 15. We hope to pack the room as we did on June 2!

Background: The Corporate Services Committee of Ottawa's City Council had so many presentations from concerned citizens that wanted to express their opposition to CANSEC at their June 2 meeting, that they needed to reschedule many of these delegations until their next meeting.  Even more people are now signing up to make 5-minute presentations at that time.  Please join us!

Please Register to Speak:  If you want to have your voice heard on this important topic, just contact Committee Coordinator, Diane Blais, by simply emailing her. Click here  Or, you can call Diane at 613-580-2424, ext. 28091

Register upon arrival: Speakers can also register to make a presentation when they arrive (at 10 am) on June 15.  The Committee is obliged to allow all citizens to have their say on this matter before Councillors vote.

Speak Again: Even if you were one of the many peace activists who addressed City Councillors at their Committee Meeting on June 2, you can speak again if you are representing a different organization.

Time Constraints?  If you have time constraints on June 15, you can ask to speak first, or to speak immediately after the lunch break.

There was a great spirit and camaraderie for peace, when dozens of activists filled the City Council Chamber on June 2!  It was empowering to hear so many strong and committed voices opposing CANSEC.  June 15 will be even better!  Please join the excitement and ensure that Council gets the message that Ottawa citizens overwhelmingly want to retain their City's historic 20-year ban on hosting arms trade exhibitions!
