Such events enable CJPME to reach a diverse group of Canadians, often in large numbers, with a message for justice and peace in the Middle East.

Planning such events and tours requires skills and volunteers, but can be enormously rewarding. Activities in participating and planning events can vary from CJPME branch to branch. If you would like to get involved in CJPME’s events team, please contact us, either via email, or at (514) 745-8491.
