Vancouver for a World BEYOND War is a local chapter of the global World BEYOND War network, whose mission is the abolition of war.

And we provide a blueprint for ending war, one that is rooted in the strategies of demilitarizing security, managing conflict nonviolently, and creating a culture of peace.Chapter news and views
