 Korean Canadian Cultural Association Hosts Toronto Peace Marathon 2005

To be run on October 2nd, 2005, 7 AM. At the Korean Centre at 1133 Leslie St. North York.

 Friday 9, 2005 10 AM ET

 

Toronto-(Community News) - The Korean Canadian Cultural Association (KCCA) announces today its first Toronto Peace Marathon 2005 (a 10 kilo run) on Sunday, October 2nd, 2005 7 am, on behalf of the Korean Community in Metro Toronto in celebration of Korean Day in Ontario.

 

Steve Yu, the Association’s president stated that Koreans wish to promote peace and freedom in the Korean Peninsula and the World. We just celebrated the 60th anniversary of the World War II victory as well as the liberation of the Korean Peninsula. Nevertheless, there is yet to be true peace and freedom in the Korean Peninsula. Six countries are still engaged in negotiation to make nuclear weapon free Korean Peninsula.

 

Sam Hahn, Chair of the TPM Organizing Committee added that we also remembered the sacrifice made by peace and freedom loving people from 16 countries including Canadians during Korean War started in June 25, 1950. We would not be able to live now in Canada without their sacrifice during the war to defend the South Korea.

 

Koreans are the survivors of these wars and long for peace and freedom more than any people.

 

Steve Yu declares “This is the reason that we Koreans in Toronto decided to host the peace race in the memory of the sacrifice made in both wars. Toronto has every culture and people on earth. We are the citizens of the world. We ask you to join us in this short distance run to promote together peace and freedom fro the world.”

 

It is required to send us the application form to the Centre before September 26, 2005.

For the details, please visit KCCA at www.koreancentre.on.ca or the Korea Times Daily Education Centre at www.koreatimes.net on time, place, and application form.

 

Media Presentation (Press release event) will be held at 3:00pm on Sep. 14th , 2005 at the Korean Centre located in the above address.
