The annual Toronto #UWC Alumni Reunion and #UWCDay events took place over the weekend. Folks rallied and took action to help #FreeAmayaCoppens Thanks to the organizers and to everyone who came out to spend some time together and #InspireChange

Happy UWC Day! Here is a message and photo #UWCNCCanada received today about the letter-writing project at #UWCISAK in Japan... Happy UWC day!! It's very interesting to think about how I am emailing from the first UWC to celebrate UWC Day this year to the last UWC that will celebrate UWC Day this year. While our day has ended, yours has only started. I am attaching a photo from today's letter writing session! The Canadian community at #ISAK is small but mighty, consisting of 4 faculty members, me, and a student who was living in Edmonton for 4 years before coming to ISAK through the Oman national committee. Our letters varied from emailing the Olympic committee offering accommodation for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, to asking Justin Trudeau to fund scholarships for Canadians to experience UWC, as well as spreading awareness about Amaya Coppens' story and the current situation in Nicaragua. Overall it was a really cool, activity-filled UWC day. Thanks! #UWCDAY #DayOfPeace #UWCCanada #FreeAmayaCoppens

As you may know, #UWCNCCanada is promoting a letter-writing project tomorrow for #UWC Day. There are many great causes out there and we hope you'll write a letter to a decision-maker about something you are passionate about to #InspireChange. You might consider writing in support of Amaya Coppens (#LPCUWC 2012-14), who has been detained following her arrest at student protest in Nicaragua. More info from the UWC International Office and a link to where your letter can be sent is here. #FreeAmayaCoppens #LiberezAmayaCoppens #LiberenaAmayaCoppens https://www.uwc.org/news/?pid=22&nid=7&storyid=3542

#UWC Day is two days away. We're hearing about letter-writing projects involving Canadians at #UWCISAK in Japan, at alumni events across Canada, and with the entire campus at #PCUWC. Want to #InspireChange? Be part of this collective action and write a letter to a decision-maker this Friday! #UWCDay #MakeChange #DayOfPeace #SpeakTruthToPower

Check out this big beautiful bunch of Canadians! This is what the current Canadian contingent at #PCUWC looks like. The #UWC National Committee of #Canada invited the first and second-year Canadians from Pearson's campus to get together to share some Hickory Sticks, Nanaimo Bars, Coffee Crisps, and a good old Canadian photo-op on the shores of Pedder Bay. Say Cheese Eh! #UWCCanada #ProudToBeUWC #UWCNCCanada

#UWC Day is just over a week away. How will you #celebratepeace on September 21st? The National Committee of #Canada and Pearson College UWC are partnering for a campus-wide letter-writing project. It will be a day of individual and collective activism to #InspireChange Students, alumni, parents, and friends of UWC from and in Canada are encouraged to take some time on UWC Day and write a letter telling their story, asking for support, action, peace, change, understanding, etc. Your letter can go to a decision-maker, policy-maker, government representative, or maybe to someone you are grateful for. We hope you will take part in this collective effort and would love to hear your stories. #UWCDay #DayOfPeace #BeTheChange #MakeADifference
