This year, inspired by our Peace Camp’s production 'WeTropolis', we ask the question, “what lessons about the past can we learn from the land?” What lessons from nature can guide us to more equitable and healthy futures?
Bringing together socially-engaged artists, community groups, and our neighbours of all ages, participants will March for peace, and for building relationships with the land and with each other. The March is a beloved tradition where business owners and residents enjoy children chanting and spreading joy.
Your camp or community groups can also join Nigel and Jayden in a Peace is Possible Workshop to prepare art for the March.

At 10:30 a.m., we will gather for the March in the north lot of Shoppers World Danforth (3003 Danforth Avenue) to sign in and get ready to march! Banners, signs, and musical instruments will be distributed and instructions will be given. Then, at 11:00 a.m., we are off to march! Singing and chanting, we will march along Danforth Avenue and north along Dawes Road until we reach Taylor Creek Park at noon. We will enjoy a free picnic lunch in the park, provided by Children's Peace Theatre. By 1:00 p.m., we will return to the home of Children’s Peace Theatre, where March participants will gain free admission to the matinée performance of WeTropolis by our own Peace Camp cast!

Peace March WorkshopsLeading up to the annual Peace is Possible March, we offer artist-led conflict transformation workshops for children and youth to explore their vision of what peace looks like in practice. Through art, song, storytelling, and dance, participants will build skills in activism and social justice awareness while they create art, such as banners and posters, for the day of the march.
Conflict transformation is the cornerstone of Children’s Peace Theatre. We believe that through guided artistic expression, children can discover the potential to transform their relationships to themselves and others. Conflict is inevitable, so we show the ways that conflict can be a site of transformational change for peace. This year, our conflict transformation workshops will guide children in their journey to discover their own conception of peace and conflict through our theme of building relationship with the land. Join artists Nigel Edwards and Jayden Prescod for movement, music and banner making. Activities are designed so that participants experience conflict as a creative force and peace as an activity that we can choose to embrace. Interested in booking a workshop for your community group or program?
