3 Peace Park for Stowe Overview This overview is based on Canadian publication, Business Quarterly, International Terrorism: Implications and Challenge for Global Tourism, Fall Lou D Amore, a Stowe resident until August 2017, is the president of the International Institute for Peace Through Tourism (IIPTT). Tourism is an economic driver everywhere in the world. When the number of international terrorist incidents reached over 20,000 a year in 1984, L.J. D Amore and Associates, Montreal, wrote the research paper published in the Business Quarterly. The Canadian government incorporated Peace Parks into their 125 th Anniversary activities. Many communities embraced the idea and dedicated a Peace Park in their public spaces, making 350 community parks from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The United Nations and Lou continued the concept and have dedicated Peace Parks worldwide including South Africa and Jordan. Last fall, September 13, 2017, Lou was in China dedicating a UN Peace Park. What does a Peace Park look like? Communities have different visions for their Peace Park and each vision is perfect. Some have a single tree, some a brass plaque with inspiring words mounted on a granite boulder. Some dedicated a forest of trees. The important aspect is that each community thought about Peace for a time and have a visual reminder to work for peace. What is Peace? The initial inspiration for the Peace Parks was the international terrorism rampant throughout the world in the 80 s. Now many countries are at war on Terrorism. Violence is rampant in our daily news. What can we do to be champions of peace? In April at the Spruce Performing Arts, eight Ted Talks featured Community as the theme for discussion. A community can dedicate a peace park appropriate to their vision. Can we motivate the Town of Stowe to be a Peace Park Community?

4 From the IIPT Website: IIPT Global Peace Parks Project As part of its 30th Anniversary Year events, IIPT has launched a Global Peace Parks Project with a goal of 2,000 Peace Parks circling the earth by November 11, 2018, the Centenary of the end of World War I and its theme No More War. The project builds on the foundations of IIPT s Peace Parks across Canada Project in 1992 commemorating Canada s 125th birthday as a nation. That project resulted in 350 cities and towns dedicating a park to peace and was said to be the most significant of more than 25,000 Canada 125 Projects. Partnering with IIPT on the project is United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG), the united voice and world advocate of democratic local self-government with a global network of cities, local and regional governments representing 70% of the world population. UCLG goals include contributing to the achievement of the SDG s, Paris Agreement, Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, and New Urban Agenda for Sustainable Urban Development. Objectives of the IIPT Global Peace Parks are: to nurture the growth of peace and understanding at home and throughout the world; enhance awareness of a community s commitment to peace and a healthy environment; create common ground for the community to come together in celebration of their nation s people, land, and heritage, and the common future of all humankind; reflect on our connectedness to one another as a Global Family and our common home, planet Earth. About IIPT The International Institute for Peace through Tourism (IIPT) is a not for profit organization dedicated to fostering travel and tourism initiatives that contribute to international understanding, cooperation among nations, an improved quality of environment, cultural enhancement and the preservation of heritage, poverty reduction, reconciliation and healing wounds of conflicts; and through these initiatives, helping to bring about a peaceful and sustainable world. It is founded on a vision of the world s largest industry, travel and tourism becoming the world s first global peace industry; and the belief that every traveler is potentially an Ambassador for Peace.

5 The Recreation Commission recommends the establishment of Stowe Peace Park to be a feature within Thompson Park. Lynn Altadonna presented the concept and intent at the September 5, 2018 Recreation Commission and it was voted unanimously in support with the following details. The Stowe Peace Park will be designated at the existing flower garden bed which is in the center of Thompson Park (picture 1). The establishment of and ongoing maintenance will require little to no additional expense to the Town. 200 Tulips will be planted in the flower bed which have been donated. Volunteers will be doing the plantings and additional work which included extending the flower bed by roughly 2-3 feet on the south end (picture 2). Volunteers will seek donation of top soil and mulch for the project. Stowe High School students and teachers will be involved as volunteers. The group will also seek donations for an engraving of Stowe Peace Park on an existing bolder in the flower bed (picture 3) and for a sign also reading Stowe Peace Park to be added to the existing park entrance sign (picture 4). The group intends to have an opening ceremony featuring guest speakers to promote the meaning of the Peace Park and promote the concept of Peace. Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3 Picture 4
