VOTE FOR ME!
I am Ombuddy the Beaver.
Development and Peace is promoting the creation of an independent Ombudsperson’s office to regulate Canadian mining companies in the Global South!
The Ombudsperson would listen to complaints, investigate the situation, pass judgement based on environmental and human rights standards and publish a report.

PEOPLE
WORKING TOGETHER
TO BUILD A JUST WORLD !
... For more than 35 years, DEVELOPMENT
AND PEACE supported communities working to improve
conditions that end poverty and bring about justice... creating
a better world! We support programs in many countries of the South
---
Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
...
These community-based programs involve local people and focus
on justice, human rights and participation in society. They deal
with people involved in social movements, farm cooperatives, youth centres, or small loans projects. We especially support women,
who make up the majority of the poor.
...
In Canada, DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE
works to educate Canadians about the causes of poverty and injustice
that affect people in the South. Through
our annual ACTION and national
awareness-raising campaign, we push for alternatives to stop
unjust situations that affect all of us.
“See,
it’s just by pure chance that we happen to be born into
the lives that we were," one D&P 'Just Youth'
supporter said. "I mean, we are not better than the
people in third world countries of the South.
It doesn’t matter what race they are; it doesn’t matter
who they are; you look out for people — that’s why
I think everyone of us should get involved and really do something
about it.”
