The Koots do it with Style. Check out this very Original and Cool Flash Mob for Peace Video.
I love the Kootenays! I have lived in Castlegar and attended Selkirk College, and Nelson and Angel and I have lived in Nelson 2x. One day I plan to move back to the Kootenays, it's a beautiful place. With wonderful creative peace loving people.
Way to go, Guys!! Super Awesome!

The Mir Centre for Peace http://selkirk.ca/research/mir-centre-for-peace/at Selkirk College organized a flash mob against war and consumerism earlier this month.
Mir Centre - Peace Studies in Canada
Located at Selkirk College in the Kootenay region of British Columbia, the Mir Centre offers a unique program of studies in peace building and cultures of peace. Mir programs and lectures make a significant new contribution to Peace Studies in Canada and the world.
The mandate of the Mir Centre is understanding and building cultures of peace through learning.
The Mir Story
For Selkirk College, the story of this land and the Mir Centre for Peace begins in 1966 when the site and buildings were inherited by the College. The story of this magnificent piece of land and the people who have lived there stretches back for centuries.
Today, the Mir Centre for Peace at Selkirk College is the focal point for many activities, all of which build on the Centre’s inspiring statement of mission: “To understand and build cultures of peace through learning.”

Staged at Whitewater Ski Resort on Sunday, Feb. 13, the flash mob included a performance by the war mongering Lucas Myers and singing by dozens of people at the ski hill’s lodge.
Here’s the video.
