Vancouver Chamber of
Commerce.

walk this
Saturday

TENS OF THOUSANDS of
British Columbians are
gearing up for another
historic “Walk for Peace”
through the streets of
Vancouver, Apnil 23.

Last year, the peace rally
drew 35,000 people, making
it the largest demonstration
of its kind in Canadian
history and the president of
the group organizing the
event believes there is
potential for an equally
impressive turnout for this
year's walk.

“British Columbians are
more concerned than ever
about the escalating arms
race,” said Frank Kennedy,
president of the End the
Arms Race (EAR) com-
mittee.

Kennedy, who i1s_ also
president of the Vancouver
and District Labour Council,
said the possibility of cruise
missile testing in Canada has
heightened the awareness of
Canadians.

“I think also that: more
people are beginning to see
the lunacy of bilhon dollar
arms budgets against a
backdrop of mounting
unemployment and human
misery.”

This year’s Walk for Peace
has been given an important
added boost from  Van-
couver City council, which
on March 15 voted to urge
Vancouverites to join the
walk by producing a
brochure and distributing it
to every residence in the
city.

The time and place of the
rally will be the same as last
year. Participants are asked
to assemble at Kitsilano
Beach Park at) noon on
Saturday, April 23 for a
march over the Burrard
Strect Bridge to Sunset
