Canada Vacation Fun Facts

 

World Peace Pavilion

It was here during the G7 Summit of June 1995 that the World Peace Pavilion was officially opened by the seven visiting Foreign Ministers. So far seventy countries have participated in the exhibit. Large signature pieces, such as a chunk of the Great Wall of China and some remains of the Berlin Wall, are featured in the exhibit. Alos included are amethysts from Uruguay, a plate from Ecuador, and a brass plaque made from ammunition fragments after World War II from Slovakia. Countries sent donations from their most cherished historical sites, their proudest achievements, and poignant reminders of the price of peace and fragility of human life.

Address: World Peace Pavilion, Dartmouth Waterfront, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. Web: http://www.halifax.ca/attractions/peacepav.
