About me:


The Hiroshima Day Coalition: Toronto includes representatives of peace groups and concerned individuals in the Greater Toronto Area. The Coalition was formed to commemorate the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and to work for the abolition of nuclear weapons. Every August, the HDC organizes a public event at the Peace Garden at Toronto City Hall so that the human suffering and destruction inflicted by the first atomic bombings in 1945 will never be forgotten. The 2011 peace ceremony will be held at the Church of the Holy Trinity (10 Trinity Square, behind the Eaton Centre) due to the construction and revitalization of the Peace Garden and Nathan Phillips Square.

The Coalition also organizes other activities to raise public awareness of the insanity of nuclear weapons and to remind Canadians that the $12 trillion the nuclear weapon states have spent on nuclear arms could have eliminated hunger, disease, and illiteracy in the world and addressed global warming and social injustices that produce armed conflict.

The Coalition maintains a co-operative relationship with like-minded groups to achieve our common goal of bringing about a world without nuclear weapons. Coalition members, individually or collectively, work on projects designed to further efforts for the abolition of nuclear weapons and to bring about a more peaceful world.
