The Canadian Peace Alliance organizes cross-Canada campaigns and actions; arranges political lobbying sessions between member groups and key political leaders in Ottawa; facilitates the development of strategies for the Canadian peace movement; and produces and distributes education and action materials.
The Canadian Peace Alliance's policy and campaign direction is determined by a bi-annual convention of member groups and by a geographically representative Steering Committee.
