The Youth Against War Project

We want no more war.
We want no more landmines.
We want no more mine victims.
We promise to work for peace in our world.

These four sentences constitute the Youth Against War Treaty.
They are a concrete commitment of youth from around the world to take concrete steps to create a more peaceful world.

The SCC joins thousands of youth around the world in supporting the Youth Against War Treaty.

Support Song Kosal and Mines Action Canada and help promote a world without landmines mines: in the ground or in our hearts.

The Saskatoon Children's Choir is initiating a series of activities to support the Youth Against War Treaty.

All concerts and performances of the SCC include repertoire from around the world which address, challenge, inspire and cultivate issues related to nonviolence for children

The SCC collected 950 signatures to the Youth Against War Treaty. On 11 March, 2001 these were included in the over 350,000 signatures from youth around the world and presented to the US government in Washington DC. The signatures were a plea to President Bush to join the Mine Ban Treaty and help to rid the world of mines.

One dollar from each ticket sold for the SCC spring concert Seeds of the Spirit ~ Songs of Freedom will be used to support mine affected communities in Cambodia.

Based on the Cambodian bookmarks which depict the commitment of Song Kosal to a world where peace grows like a flower, the SCC has designed and distributes bookmarks to encourage all young people to remember victims of mines and to work for peace.

The SCC encourages its members and supporters to communicate with the Honourable John Manley, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Government of Canada, Ottawa. The SCC too will gather signatures to support their letter to Mr Manley. They will applaud the leadership of the Canadian government in creating the Mine Ban Treaty and insist that Canadians expect continued commitment and leadership from him personally and his office to the implementation of the treaty until the final goal is reached: a world without mines.
