Peace Halifax is a day-long festival offered as a gift to the people of Halifax in honour of the United Nations International Day of Peace.

This year Nova Scotians are invited to ‘be the peace they want to see in the world’ by joining a new initiative called 100 Days of Peace. The project hopes to encourage thousands of individuals to create a wave of peace leading up to September 21, the United Nations International Day of Peace.

“Every day from June 13 to September 21 we’ll share a new 10-minute recording focused on peace. We’ve invited 100 people from all walks of life to share their experiences and reflections of peace and together we’ll listen and enjoy an extended moment of peace. You can listen live online daily at 6am (Atlantic) or 6:15pm or from your home when it’s convenient for you,” says Judy Johnson, a founder of Peace Halifax and the head of the Brahma Kumaris meditation centre.

100 Days of Peace was created to mark the 10^th anniversary of Peace Halifax, a day long free festival created as a gift to the people of Halifax in honour of the United Nations International Day of Peace.

“The world needs peace more than ever, so rather than focus on one day, we decided to expand our efforts. If 1,000 people each commit 10 minutes a day that would add 1 million extra minutes of peaceful energy. When we create peace inside ourselves it positively affects everyone around us.”

The voices featured in the 100 Days of Peace recordings include politicians, journalists, nurses, retirees, children, and more. Register now to join 100 Days of Peace!
