On Saturday, October 16, in Fort Erie, Ontario, there will be a very special event in support of US war resisters in Canada. "Refusing Orders, Crossing Borders: A Dialogue with American War Resisters" is co-sponsored by the Buffalo, New York chapter of Veterans for Peace and the War Resisters Support Campaign. Many American veteran peace activists will be there, along with Canadian supporters from the Niagara region. We'll be getting to know some of the war resisters who have come to Canada, hearing about the issues they face, and learning how we can help.

If you're in striking distance from Ft. Erie, please consider spending your Saturday with us. There'll be lunch, music, socializing - and undoubtedly some very moving and eye-opening talks. Buses will leave Toronto that morning, 8:00 a.m., and return around dinner time. To book a seat on the bus, call 416.598.1222.

There's an event website here, and you can find it here on Facebook.
