Welcome to PeacefulCommunities.ca!
The Peaceful Communities Project was initiated as a follow-up to the 'Counting the Costs of Violence' forum sponsored by health agencies in October 1997 during the YWCA Week Without Violence. The Project's motivation is to work toward a broader understanding of what violence is by effecting a change in attitudes. This can then lead to positive behaviour changes and less tolerance of violence in our lives and community.
