Our Newsletter is available on-line on our website at:  www.boundarypeaceinitiative.org and for free at various businesses in the Boundary region of B.C.   This month posted on the website is a letter we urge you to send to the suggested names or if you wish to have a digital copy contact Laura as listed below.

We are always open to monetary donations to help with our work and always in need of volunteers for events.  Contact Laura to get details at L4peace@telus.net or phone Laura at

250-444-0524 or 250-442-0434.    We thank all for your past support and look forward to working with you as we move into 2024.

Here we are at the end of another year.  Sadly, there is more death and destruction in so many corners of our planet.  It is heartbreaking but we must continue to work towards establishing a world free of violence, abuse and of course war.

The December issue of the BPI Newsletter focuses again on the most recent war in Palestine/Israel.  We urge you to do what you can to stop the carnage and the blatant violation of human rights  in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Of course we must also raise the alarm about these same types of violations in other parts of the world.  Remember war is war no matter where or for what reason. Racism, bigotry, all forms of abuse are also a type of war on people by people. 

The December issue is up on our website and can be accessed with this address or below: www.boundarypeaceinitiative.org .

We also need someone to volunteer a couple of hours a month to deliver the Newsletter in downtown Grand Forks (our current person needed to move out of the area).  Volunteers are a vital part of many groups, especially non-profits like we are.  We do not have the funds to hire anyone, so we rely on the good will of you, our brothers and sisters that feel Peace is the Way, Peace is the Solution.  Contact Laura at 250-442-0434 or 250-444-0524 or email at L4peace@telus.net.

We thank all our past and current supporters and look forward to sharing information in 2024.  We do have plans for a few events at the beginning of the year and a few in the summer.  So watch for announcements.  We wish you all the best during this holiday season, Christmas, Hanukah, Solstice, and others

Autumn is sliding away quickly.  The leaves are mostly on the ground and the air has a bite to it and the twinkle of frost is everywhere in the morning. Mother Earth needs this cycle to replenish and nurture our collective lives.

But the chill war has brought to our world is not needed by anyone, for it is ‘we the people’, especially children, and the environment that suffer while politicians send bombs and guns to kill and destroy us.  For war is the one of the biggest contributors to climate change, through fossil fuel use but also all that pollution that goes up from all the destruction wrought by explosions. 

So, while this issue of the BPI Newsletter does share information on the blood being spilt and the pain of war, we also share information about the White Poppy of Peace. 

You will find the Newsletter on our website at: www.boundarypeaceinitiative.org to read and share either by sending out a link or printing a copy of two.    

Also, articles on the current situation in Gaza will be in the Information tab as a link or the full article.  This is forthcoming and will be added to as information comes in.
