Flag Raising 2012

Dear Everyone, The Raising of the Karen Flag in Orillia for the fifth year gives us an opportunity to meet, welcome and celebrate these new Canadians and to understand a little better the problems facing Burma. Aung San Suu Kyi has been allowed to leave Burma and now after her high profile trip to Europe will return to her task at home. Hope of change seems possible. We worry that peaceful resolution between the Army and many Ethnic groups is still very much in doubt and raising the Karen flag with the Canadian Flag is a symbol and a chance to continue to ‘stand on guard’ for these people who have suffered so much. We apologize to those of you we have not been able to notify before now. We very much hope you will be able to join us for coffee, some speeches and pictures from PUB’s last ten years. We look forward to seeing you on Friday morning, July 6, 2012 at 10:00.
