Rotarian Edwin Lee, Director of International Programs, shared his story about attending Rotary World Peace Conference 2016.  He highlighted the following points:  
  • on a global peace index Canada ranked#12, while #1 was Denmark
  • since 2005 the world has steadily moved towards peace
  • peace starts with how the individual deals with negative emotions, such as hate and anger
  • once at peace with yourself you move to your family, work and community
  • bullying should not be ignored and instead confronted whenever possible
  • ways of meeting conflict: fight/flight or freeze
  • best way to end conflict is to compromise and collaborate
