Mayors for Peace Campaign Re-Launched
On September 21 – United Nations International Day of Peace – Peace Quest officially re-launched its bid to persuade John Morgan, Mayor of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality (CBRM), to join the international Mayors for Peace campaign for a world without nuclear weapons.
