Our Work
Our activities are designed to teach, research and address the health consequences of violence, nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction, the health consequences associated with energy resources and armed conflict, methods of nonviolent conflict resolution, and the promotion of social justice in a sustainable world.
Medical Education
We mentor medical student research projects, give talks at medical teaching rounds, and write articles for medical journals and textbooks. We provide educational resources to national medical organizations.
Public Education
We teach high school students about nuclear weapons, war and climate change. We speak to local community groups and write articles for magazines and newspapers. We act as non-partisan consultants to all levels of government.
Abolition of Nuclear Weapons
We support the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) and participated in the negotiations leading to the Treaty on the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons. We participate in the ICAN Cities Appeal by giving presentations to local municipal councils.
Youth Engagement
We support and mentor young people engaged in national and international peace activities. We contribute to the International Youth Nuclear Peace Summit in Winnipeg, a yearly internship program, and webinars geared specifically towards youth.
