The International Day of Peace (“Peace Day”) is observed around the world each year on 21 September. Established in 1981 by unanimous United Nations resolution 36/37, the General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to “commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace both within and among all nations and peoples.”
 
Furthering the Day’s mission, the General Assembly augmented the original resolution in 2001, fixing the date on 21 September. 
 
Peace Day provides a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to Peace above all differences and to contribute to building a Culture of Peace.
 
On 16 September 2016, the Secretary-General will celebrate the Day in the Peace Garden at United Nations Headquarters by ringing the Japanese Peace Bell and observing a minute of silence. Women Nobel Peace Prize laureates and the United Nations Messengers of Peace will be invited to participate in the ceremony.
 
Therefore, in recognition of the International Day of Peace, join the Rotary Clubs of the Bahamas Road to Peace and the Bahamas Scouts Association on a March for Solidarity on September 21, 2016 @ 6 pm. Pre-Walk Service will be held at Salem Union Baptist Church Taylor St and afterwards our March for Solidarity will commence.
