version, the Abbotsford Arts/Peace
Festival celebrated its tenth anniversary at
UCFV’s Abbotsford campus August 6-9.
Polisci and Religious Studies
instructor Ron Dart, who also organizes
the event, said this year’s festival included

‘a vigil remembering the bombing of

Hiroshima; a reading from Andreas

Schroeder, a Mission peace mennonite,

from his about—to—be—published short
story on rural Mennonite culture in the
area; and a lively bout of protest music by
the Celtic band “Fear of Drinking”.

The festival continued on Saturday
with a live theatre performance about
leading Israeli dissident and peace activist,

for the Nobel Peace Prize. oa
