On Saturday, March 6, Citizens for Public Justice celebrates it's 40th anniversary in Halifax with an address by Mayann Francis, Director and CEO of the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission, called "Silence is not always golden." In an age of scandals, and also when implications are dire for those accused of security, could anything be more true? Citizens for Public Justice was founded 40 years ago by Canadian justice-oriented Christians who believe that governments and all other institutions have a responsibility for the common good. It has a national membership that is active in Nova Scotia. CPJ undertakes research, critical analysis, publishing, citizen education and advocacy on issues of poverty and child poverty, refugee concerns, Aboriginal rights and faith and public life among others. It shares its anniversary with its sister organization, the Public Justice Resource Centre. The celebration will take place at Dalhousie Chaplaincy, 1321 Edward Street, Halifax, beginning at 7 p.m. There will be a retrospective presentation, a timely address, poetry, art and music.
