Mayors for peace

Each year Cairns joins in the celebration of a designated International Day of Peace involving more than 3,000 cities around the globe in September.

The Mayors for Peace program was instigated by the Mayor of Hiroshima, Mr Takeshi Araki, in 1982 as a call for world wide solidarity in an initiative to ban nuclear weapons.

As part of the Mayors for Peace program, Cairns celebrates the International Day of Peace on 21 September
