Canadians for a Nuclear Weapons Convention

Canadians for a Nuclear Weapons Convention was established by John Polanyi, Douglas Roche, Murray Thomson and Ernie Regehr to encourage Order of Canada recipients to support the call for a comprehensive, verifiable nuclear weapons convention, and to raise the profile of the campaign for abolition of nuclear weapons through the attention given it by Canadians who have received the Order of Canada. As of the end of October 2017, over 1000 members of the Order have joined the CNWC and added their names in support.
