Join an Event

IPPNW Canada regularly hosts events to connect with the peace and disarmament community nation-wide.

Every month IPPNWC hosts a speaker to share their unique expertise and experiences in our speaker series. The purpose of our calls is to learn, inspire and support each other projects. Pre-registration is required, and the events are entirely free to all. Registration information for upcoming speakers series events can be found here.

We also prioritize working with other members of civil society to sponsor and cohost events pertaining to peace and disarmament. An up-to-date listing of events can be found on our events calendar.

Support IPPNWC Programs

At IPPNWC, we believe that young people are the key to creating a better future, and that's why we have developed innovative programs that engage and educate youth about important global issues. Our programs are designed to provide young people with the knowledge and skills they need to become leaders in their communities, and to make a positive impact on the world around them.

Alongside this important work, we are engaging with the Government of Canada on important matters of security, peace and sustainability. With the help of our supporters, we have been able to spread our purposes and goals to a broader audience of young people, civil society members, and government organizations.

But we can't do this important work alone. We rely on the support of generous donors like you to help us continue to engage Canadians in discussions of peace, disarmament, environmental justice and sustainability. Your donation will enable us to expand our programs and reach even further.
