Peace Bridge Institute
The work of peace is complex. Simple answers are rare.
Progress begins with space to listen, to learn, and to imagine what’s possible. The PeaceBridge Institute exists to create that space.
Rooted in Anabaptist Christian faith and guided by shared values, we bring together individuals and organizations, united by a commitment to justice and human dignity, to work collaboratively toward the flourishing of communities facing poverty and conflict.
Through partnerships with practitioners, academics, students, and the wider community, PeaceBridge creates opportunities to explore ideas, test approaches, and turn thoughtful dialogue into meaningful action, becoming a catalyst for hope and lasting impact.
Grounded in faith. Guided by dialogue. Oriented toward action.
The PeaceBridge Institute will bring research, practice, and community engagement together to advance peace and human flourishing.

Menno Hall
Located at the gates of UBC, Menno Hall is a free, open, and inspiring space where ideas can grow and relationships can flourish. PeaceBridge calls this home, offering a hub for research, dialogue, and hands-on peacebuilding. It’s more than a building – it’s a community where students, academics, and practitioners come together to create a space of community responsibility, mutual care, and hospitality.
