Dear Friend,

Setsuko Thurlow asked me to forward the following information about two
forthcoming Hiroshima and Nagasaki commemoration events to you:


The Toronto Hiroshima Day Coalition is organizing the 66th commemoration of the
atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6th, 2011. This year, the
annual Peace Commemoration will be held at 6:30 pm at the Church of the Holy
Trinity (10 Trinity Square, behind the Eaton Centre), due to the reconstruction
of our regular venue at the Nathan Phillips Square Peace Garden. With the theme,
“Faith and Abolition: No Nuclear Weapons, No Nuclear Power,” this year’s
interfaith commemoration will also address the nuclear disaster continuing to
unfold in Fukushima, Japan, connecting our growing concern about nuclear power
and its relationship to nuclear weapons proliferation. Speakers include Metta
Spencer (editor, Peace Magazine), Archbishop Michael Peers (Anglican Church),
Rev. Dr. Seiichi Ariga (United Church), Zul Kassamali (Chair, Toronto Area
Interfaith Council), and Angela Bischoff from the Ontario Clean Air Alliance.

North York Civic Centre Survivors Artwork Exhibit, August 2-5:

An exhibition of photographs and paintings by Hiroshima and Nagasaki atom bomb
survivors will have an official opening at the North York Civic Centre, 5100
Yonge Street, on August 2 at 5:30 hosted by Toronto City Councillor John
Filion. Ontario MPP David Zimmer, Hiroshima survivor Setsuko Thurlow, and Allan
Hux from the Toronto District School Board will also speak. The exhibition is in
the upstairs corridor of the North York Civic Centre. The opening reception is
in the Members' Lounge one floor below. The exhibition is free of charge and
runs until August 5. For further information, please consult

Best wishes,
