An international peace run passed through Stittsville last Friday afternoon. A lighted torch, with its flame burning, was carried along the Trans Canada Trail by Arpan DeAngelo of New York City, one of six relay runners involved in this year’s Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run that started in Toronto on May 11 and will finish in New York City on May 26. The route is running from Toronto to Kingston (May 14) to Ottawa (May 17-18) to Montreal (May 20) to Burlington, Vermont (May 21) to Woodstock, NY (May 24) to New York City. Arpan DeAngelo, carrying the torch, crossed Stittsville Main Street headed east on the Trans Canada Trail about 2:45 p.m. last Friday and passed the site of the new French Catholic High School on Abbott Street at the new Robert Grant Avenue (formerly Founder Ave.) at 3:10 p.m. as he continued to head east on the Trans Canada Trail.

He was carrying the torch on a three mile stretch of the Peace Run before handing over the torch to the next runner in the relay. Each runner does about six to eight miles a day. The runners had stayed overnight in Westport before leaving for Ottawa last Friday. Arpan explained that this Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run is not a fundraising run but is meant to spread the message that peace can be achieved through actions by individuals at the local level. Arpan himself, who lives in New York City, is a former marathon runner who switched to being involved in the Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run, leaving behind racing to be part of a good cause of trying to inspire people to work for peace on a local level, one person at a time. This year’s Peace Run is what Arpan described as a short one, lasting only three weeks as the torch is carried from Toronto to New York City. Last year, the Peace Run in North America lasted four months, starting on April 10 and finishing Aug. 15. It included 59 days in the United States, 30 days in Canada and two days in Mexico. Such a lengthy run is undertaken every second year. This Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run, founded in 1987, is a global torch relay that promotes international friendship and understanding. At one time known as the World Harmony Run, this Peace Run does not seek to raise money or highlight any particular cause. Rather, it simply strives to create goodwill among peoples of all nations in the belief that working together, individuals can make a difference. This Peace Run was founded in 1987 by Sri Chinmoy who died in 2007 but who had dedicated his life to advancing the ideals of world peace and oneness. Sri Chinmoy was born in what is now Bangladesh in 1931, spending John Curry/Metroland 20 years in spiritual practice there before moving to New Arpan DeAngelo from New York City holds the flaming torch of the Sri York City in 1964 where he taught meditation, eventually Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run as he carries the torch through teaching thousands of students in 60 countries.
