Canada's Largest Multi Faith Event
Welcome to the Religion and World Peace Conference, where we explore the profound challenges of growing polarization in our world. From political divides to religious differences, economic disparities to social inequalities, we are witnessing a troubling decline in empathy and tolerance, leading to an escalating cycle of conflict. This year’s theme invites us to confront the pressing question: How can we heal this fractured landscape? To tackle this vital issue, we’ve gathered representatives from leading faith groups and philosophical traditions, united in their commitment to fostering understanding and promoting peace. Together, we will seek pathways toward healing and harmony, championing the essential role of religion in creating a more peaceful world.
