UofT's fifth Peace Week ended on Remembrance Day, with a War Child Benefit Concert, in addition to UofT's usual Remembrance Day ceremonies, this year held on Friday Nov. 10. In 2001, Guru Fatha Singh, a Sikh minister of the UofT Campus Chaplains Association, organized the first Peace Week at the University of Toronto, with support from many student groups and organizations. When it became apparent that the universal urge for peace would not stop the disaster of war, a growing team of campus activists resolved to make Peace Week a yearly event joined to Remembrance Day.
