OAKVILLE, ON - "Afghanistan: Stay, Go or Something in Between"

“Afghanistan: Stay, Go or Something in Between”
A FREE PUBLIC FORUM ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 10, 7 PM
 
The Oakville Community Centre for Peace, Ecology and Human Rights is presenting a public forum entitled 'Canada's involvement in Afghanistan: Stay, Go or Something in Between'. The meeting will take place at 7:00 pm on Sunday, January 10th at St. Jude's Anglican Church, 160 William Street in downtown Oakville.
 
The distinguished presenters will be Haroon Siddiqui, columnist for the Toronto Star and Sally Armstrong, contributor to Maclean's Magazine, Chatelaine and other publications.
 
Both presenters are highly informed about Afghanistan having spent considerable time in that country and having met many of the leading figures associated with it. Because they hold differing views on the value of past, present and future Canadian involvement there, this will be a stimulating evening about one of the most important and controversial Canadian commitments of our time.

After the presentations, the audience will be invited to ask questions and make brief comments.

Canadians in Support of Afghan Women (CSAW), which is part of the CW4WAfghan network, also will be present with a display featuring the two schools for girls that they are supporting. The meeting will be free but there will be opportunities to contribute to support the work of CSAW and to pay for the expenses in holding the meeting.
