Calling Peter MacKay

I wanted to bring you this update from the Guluwalk site, so you can add your voice to the chorus singing in Peter MacKay's ears.

"On Friday, the Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of Foreign Affairs, announced that Canada will contribute $1.5 million to support the northern Uganda peace process between the Government of Uganda and the Lord’s Resistance Army being held in Juba, South Sudan. With this contribution, Canada becomes the largest bilateral supporter of these critical peace talks. (emphasis my own)
"It is very important for Canada that every effort be made to bring an end to a 20-year-long conflict that has led to the abduction of some 30,000 children, the widespread use of child soldiers, and the displacement of close to 2-million people," said Minister MacKay. "Canada urges both sides to reach a comprehensive peace agreement that will pave the way to greater freedom, human rights and rule of law for all."
The contribution will help support the work of the Cessation of Hostilities Monitoring Team, which is responsible for overseeing compliance with the ceasefire. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) will manage Canada’s contribution to the peace process.
This is a significant contribution from Canada and a clear commitment to peace, along with a clear indication that your voice is making an impact in Ottawa."

Send an email, a letter or call Minister MacKay’s office and thank him for his support of peace in northern Uganda and ask him to continue to make the children of northern Uganda a priority for Canada:
