HOW THE PEACE ALLIANCE WORKS |
|
|
Any group
(except a political party) may join the Alliance if that group accepts the objectives of
the Canadian Peace Alliance as laid out in our by-laws.
Canadian Peace Alliance policy and campaign
direction is determined by a convention
of member groups and by a geographically representative Steering Committee.
The Canadian Peace Alliance strives for regional and
sectoral balance and gender parity at all levels.
