Waterloo, Ont.—Seventy people gathered in the Mennonite Savings and Credit Union Centre for Peace Advancement (CPA) on Oct. 29, 2015, to join Project Ploughshares, a CPA affiliate, in celebrating the launch of Ernie Regehr’s book, Disarming Conflict: Why Peace Cannot Be Won on the Battlefield. Following the launch, it was announced that Regehr, the co-founder of Project Ploughshares and recipient of numerous honours, including the Order of Canada and Pearson Peace Medal, has been appointed the inaugural CPA Research Fellow. The appointment recognizes Regehr’s past many contributions to advancing peace, and, more importantly, signals a shared commitment to pursuing new opportunities for collaboration through research. —MSCU Centre for Peace Advancement
