Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on September 21. The United Nations General Assembly has declared this as a day to strengthening the ideas of peace, through observing 24 hours on non-violence and cease-fire. This day can be marked in schools by discussing the importance of being kind and showing respect to animals, people, and the environment.
For more information on the International Day of Peace visit the United Nations website.
The Alberta SPCA respects the deep foundational connection Indigenous Peoples have had to animals and this land, now known as Alberta, for thousands of years. We are grateful to continue to work towards the humane treatment of all animals in all areas of the province on the traditional territories encompassed by Treaties 6, 7, 8, 4, & 10 and the Métis Homeland.
We are inspired by how many Indigenous Peoples recognize that animals, people and the environment are interconnected and respecting these relationships is fundamental to the well-being of all living things and the earth that we share. As treaty people, we also strive to listen, respect, care for, and live in harmony with one another, animals and the natural world.
