Citizens for Public Justice hosting cross-Canada tour ahead of federal election

The tour will provide the electorate with information to better understand important policy issues related to CPJ’s core policy areas: poverty in Canada, ecological justice and refugee rights. Additionally, the tour serves as an opportunity for people to connect with CPJ’s new executive director, Willard Metzger, who previously worked for Mennonite Church Canada as executive minister. Tour dates include:

Sept. 10 – Surrey
Sept. 11 – Edmonton
Sept. 12 – Calgary
Sept. 17 – Regina
Sept. 18 – Winnipeg

With these events, CPJ hopes to encourage Canadians, particularly people of faith, to take part in important public justice conversations, participate in the democratic process and ultimately consider how their vote might shape a just Canada for all. Visit cpj.ca/tour2019 for details.
