“. . . they shall beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation; neither shall they learn war anymore.”
– Isaiah 2:4
Ploughshares Calgary aims to educate and encourage public discussion on:

- Nuclear disarmament, control of conventional arms, militarism and specific wars and interventions
We are a registered non-profit society in Alberta and gladly accept donations towards our work.
UPCOMING
Bev Delong will present an update on the nuclear weapons situation – both the worrying and the good news. What is the media failing to explain to us? We will discuss what we actions might as individuals or a group might engage to build a hopeful future.

She is on the Board of Canadian Pugwash Group and the Steering Committee of Canadians for a Nuclear Weapons Convention.
