Project Peacemakers is a body of people who are working for peace from a faith perspective and we are a local chapter of Project Ploughshares. We believe that peace is more than the absence of war. A peaceful society is one which is just and where all people are free to strive for wholeness. We try to create a peaceful society by motivating and educating ourselves and our community.We believe in a world that can love, learn and liberate. Our faith calls us to action for peace, against violence, against greed (especially in its globalized corporate form). We are in solidarity with all who share this vision.
A book of Activities forLife Planning Continuity Care was established by a group of dedicated parents, siblings and citizens who want to help families in Manitoba plan a safer and more secure future for their family member with an intellectual disability.''Planning is a must. Start planning now!''Planning gives us a chance to live our own lives while at the same time knowing that our relative has a life of their own. Start now and review regularly. Good intentions based on wrong information can put people at risk. Some siblings tell us that they are uncomfortable with the responsibilities that the parents are expecting them to undertake. Other families learn that the wills and estate planning they have done in good faith may result in loss of government income supports, medical / dental benefits and access to the many government programs their family member may require.

A Word About LanguagePeople First is an organization that was formed because some of the people in our communities felt that they were not considered as people first. They felt that they were talked about, talked to, thought about, and treated according to the disabilities that others labelled them with.The founders of People First did not think this was fair. Over the years people have been called mentally handicapped, developmentally disabled, cognitively challenged, intellectually disabled, and many other labels.In order to avoid hurting peoples' feelings and to avoid using labels when we talk about the many different members of People First, we will use the term people who have been labelled.
