>>>MONDAY October 22nd to FRIDAY October 26th, 2007

High schools, colleges and universities are in full
swing and MAWO is organizing with antiwar groups on
campuses across the lower mainland to bring a week of
workshops, forums, film showings and more. As students
struggle against increasing tuition fees, military
recruiters and increased public funds being used on
the military, the reality of Canada’s war abroad has
become a catalyst for students to get involved in
organizing against it!
