Discussion Discussion Nights are returning to Fair Vote Waterloo! Thanks to a bit of prompting from Fair Vote Canada we’ll be holding a guided discussion to answer the questions How can we capitalize on what has happened over the last two years?
and How can we raise the profile of Proportional Representation, and elect a Member of Parliament who supports PR, and make the next election different?
We missed the International Day of Democracy on 15 September, and Democracy Week surrounding it (9 September to 17 September). But we’re still in time for IDOPAN, the International Days of Peace and Nonviolence. What better way to achieve peace and nonviolence than by ensuring everyone has fair representation in a democratic government?
Thanks to Fair Vote Waterloo members Jim and Ellen we have access to the Bread and Roses Community Room. Parking is a bit tricky; if you’re coming to Discussion Night please make sure you’re subscribed to either the Discussion or Announcements mailing list. We’ll e-mail a parking permit to those mailing lists for anyone who’s driving in.
See you at Discussion Night!

Join us for an afternoon of films and film clips from movies with a theme of peace and nonviolence. We’ll watch the movie, then discuss how this shows the action of treating people with Nonviolence.
Traditionally we have the IDOPAN film night on 2 October, the actual UN International Day of Nonviolence, but this year we’re celebrating a day early.
It’s a Finger Food Potluck, so bring a snack to share! You should bring your own dish and cutlery, since we won’t have access to the kitchen…
Now on 2 October 2017, the UN International Day of Nonviolence
A tradition since 2007, WR Nonviolence celebrates the UN International Day of Peace by having people form a giant peace sign! We’ll sing some songs of peace, led by the WR Nonviolence regulars. Don’t know the words? It’ll be Karaoke, so you can follow along on the screen. Can’t sing? Then you can dance. Can’t dance? Then come just to enjoy an evening of peace, nonviolence, and being with like-minded people.
Note: This year we’re celebrating on UN International Day of Nonviolence, Monday, 2 October 2017.
