About the Exhibit:

The panel exhibition “Everything You Treasure—For a World Free From Nuclear Weapons” was jointly created in August 2012 by Soka Gakkai International (SGI) and the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) to commemorate the 55th anniversary of second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda’s September 8, 1957, Declaration Calling for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons. The exhibit has travelled extensively around the world.

Concept:

Nuclear weapons are a continuing and direct threat to all that we, collectively and individually, treasure. They impact us in ways ranging from humanitarian, environmental and economic to medical, generational and spiritual. We ourselves are the solution to the abolition of nuclear weapons which provides an opportunity to transform society, win over violence and establish a culture of peace. 

The exhibit aims to:

• To build a broader nuclear abolition constituency by providing the opportunity to learn about nuclear weapons from multiple viewpoints.
• To provide information and perspectives that empower people to take action for “the future we want.”
• To generate popular momentum toward the outlawing of nuclear weapons through a treaty prohibiting nuclear weapons.

The Indigenous Education & Engagement team invites you to attend the Survivors' Flag Raising Ceremony.

The Survivors’ Flag is a powerful symbol of remembrance, created to honour Residential School Survivors and the countless lives and communities affected by the Indian Residential School System in Canada. Every element on the flag was thoughtfully chosen by Survivors from across the country, who were consulted throughout its design process.

The ceremony will take place at the base of the flagpoles in front of the LRC at North Campus, where we will gather for speeches and the raising of the flag.

We hope you will join us in this meaningful moment of reflection and recognition.
