We believe the International
Peace Arch
and the Park's Legacy
are in danger.

Past, present and future development adjacent to
the park has adversely affected the historic site.

Find out how you can help
and stop the Peace Arch
from continuing to be a
"DRIVE BY" Monument.

	The Olympic Torch Relay will visit Peace Arch State and Provincial Park's on February 9th, at 7:30 am, in route to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games. The Peace Arch State Park will open at 6am.
	If you plan to attend the Torch Relay, here are a few suggestions: 1) Have proper ID. The Torch Relay will have a high level of security throughout the international park. 2) Arrive early to give yourself time to walk down to the Arch field. 3) Carpool with your friends (limited parking). 4) Wear waterproof shoes because grass is wet this time of year.

The event will highlight the close ties between the British Columbia and Washington State.  The Olympic Flame will be carried by an honorary Canadian and an honorary U.S. torchbearer.

Peace Parks  & Partnership
Destination Sign Pole

This pole was created to help interpret and connect Peace Arch International Park with
other international peace parks located
around the globe.

This project will help create a better understanding of Peace Arch Park unique
history. It will create a better understanding
of the global Peace Park movement. It will
serve as outreach project to and other international peace parks.

Once this project is completed, the pole will have a small interpretive panel located next to it. The panel will feature a Peace Parks overview and map of the world. The map will show the locations of the other Peace Parks on the pole. Each Peace Park featured will include a brief narrative to interpret the park location and date the park was established.

Special thanks to Ed Crouch of Blaine who donated his time and talent to handcraft the directional signs for the Peace Park Partnership Pole!
