Service organizations, faith communities, local foundations, First Nations representatives and people from across the Peterborough Region will come together at an event at PCVS on Sunday, March 6th to deliver a message of inclusion.
"Peterborough Together – A Celebration of Peace and Unity will build on the remarkable outpouring of support to the Muslim community that was shown after the attack on the Masjid Al-Salaam building," says Rev. Eilert Frerichs from Mark Street United Church.
“Our hope is to counteract some of the fears of the Muslim community and other recent newcomers to our country that continue to be expressed and fueled by anti-Muslim rhetoric both at home and abroad," says Rev. Frerichs.
The event starts at 2 pm in the auditorium of PCVS, and includes special musical performances and guest speakers. Everyone is welcome to attend this free-admission event that is organized by Mark Street United Church. All faith communities are invited.
