Peace Tree Day is an annual festival for children and families of every culture and faith to celebrate peace together. It is a time to interact, explore and experience all the vibrant colours of diversity, while working together to create new peace initiatives in schools and communities.
The purpose of the Peace Tree is to highlight the symbols of all cultures and faiths on one tree and share the hope of people around the world living together in peace. The City of Vaughan has declared June as Peace Tree Month in an effort to celebrate the many different cultures and faith within our City.
The City of Vaughan's 7th Annual Peace Tree Day Celebration will take place Sunday, June 24, 2012 at North Thornhill Community Centre, 300 Pleasant Ridge Ave. It will include multicultural performances and activities in order to create awareness and promote diversity, symbols of peace and heritage within our community.
