The Peace Cafe presents: Canadian Boat to Gaza
@ Mir Centre for Peace, Thursday, May 12, 7 p.m.
A Canadian Boat to Gaza is being planned to challenge the Israeli and Egyptian blockade of Gaza that the International Committee of the Red Cross and the United Nations Human Rights Council have called “a crime against humanity.”
Join passenger Kevin Neish as he discusses why this humanitarian and political mission is important to Canadians. Neish was present on the Mavi Marmara ship in May 2010 where nine Turkish activists were killed and he will be on the Canadian Boat to Gaza when it sails later this year, joined by a flotilla of boats from around the world.
This Peace Café takes place on Thursday, May 12, at 7 pm, at Selkirk College’s Mir Centre for Peace, Castlegar campus (301 Frank Beinder Way).
Admission by donation and refreshments will be served. Call 365-1234 or visit www.selkirk.ca/mir for more information.
