Show detail Hide detail

Canadian Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament : The Canadian Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament developed from the Canadian Committee for the Control of Radiation Hazards which was formed in 1960 and incorporated in 1961. The objectives of the group were to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons; promote disarmament and peace; lobby governments and educate the public as well as encourage research into the effects of radiation.

Many prominent Canadians were involved in the organization such as Dr. H.L. Keenleyside; Dr. James S. Thompson, Moderator of the United Church; Rabbi Feinberg; Goldie Josephy and Mr. Justice Thorson. The committee presented a 140,000 signature petition to Prime Minister Diefenbaker on 6 October 1961 urging Canada not to adopt nuclear weapons.
