---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Complete Schedule for the Latino Generals' visit to Ottawa is attached.
Join us in drawing attention to the presence in Ottawa of ALL
of the air force generals of South, Central and North America!
Candlelight Vigil
for Victims of CONJEFAMER
on Sunday May 31, 8:00 p.m.
in front of the Conference Centre
(across from the Chateau Laurier, on Wellington St.)
The Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade (COAT) plans to project slide and/or
video images of Central American children's art (depicting aerial
bombardments) onto the exteriour wall of the conference centre where the
Latino Generals will be meeting, June 1 - 3.
The Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade is also setting up displays at the
National Capital Air (War) Show, May 30-31. Join us in leafletting the
crowds. We will also have a display inside the air show of children's
paintings from Central America, depicting warplanes bombing villages, etc.
We need your help to get the word out to as many people as possible.
This is a rare opportunity to cross paths with Latin America's most
notorious generals. See the schedule for opportunities to meet them at
the Art Gallery, the Museum of Civilisation, church, the Rideau Centre,
MacKenzie King estate, etc. etc.
We are encouraging individuals and groups to take advantage of these
opportunities to make their non-violent messages of peace, human rights and
democracy heard by these air force generals.
