Peace monument in St. Vital Park WINNIPEG – A five-foot pole engraved with the message, “May peace prevail on Earth” in English, French, German, Hindi, Ukrainian, Filipino, Cree and Chinese, was unveiled in St. Vital Park on Tuesday September 8. St. Vital Councillor Brian Mayes and representatives of the Rotary Club of St. Boniface-St. Vital held the dedication ceremony to help launch Peace Days, an annual festival running from September 11 to 24 this year at venues across the city. According to the Peace Days web site, the festival grew out of a desire to celebrate the United Nations’ International Day of Peace, designated as September 21 each year. Since the first peace pole was erected in Japan in the 1950s, more than 100,000 similar monuments have been set up in more than 180 countries around the world. The peace poles “serve as visual reminders that peace should never be taken for granted,” Mayes stated in a news release. “Here in Winnipeg, this peace pole is another example of our city’s commitment to promoting peace and human rights,” he added.
