A Peace Pole is an internationally-recognized symbol of the hopes and dreams of the entire human family, standing vigil in silent prayer for peace on earth.

Donations will be used to help defray the cost of the Peace Pole, a dedication plaque to Waterloo Listens member and peace advocate, Marge Francois, and will cover the cost of four additional placards in different languages.

The four languages receiving the most donations will be added to the pole. The potential languages to be added are below. Please include in the message section of your donation which language gets your vote.

Spanish

French

Japanese

You can also join Waterloo Listens in person for a brief dedication ceremony and photo to celebrate Waterloo’s new Peace Pole at 9 am on Saturday, September 14th at Lakeview Park, along the walking path near the accessible fishing dock on the smallest lake.

Any funds not needed for the Peace Pole in Lakeview Park will be used to install another Peace Pole in Waterloo or to support local peace events in the future.
