Instructor List Style 2

The League is a non-governmental civil defence initiative promoting citizen-centric civil defence in a world where sudden nuclear war is again increasingly possible. We encourage public education in personal safety know-how for nuclear attack scenarios. And we advocate for community fallout shelter programs as well as general preparedness for other types of disasters and emergencies.

Above all else, we work to revive nuclear civil defence preparedness on the part of officials, emergency responders and everyday Canadians – measures that could save millions of lives in the event of nuclear war. (We believe nuclear experts like former U.S. Defence Secretary William Perry or the staff of Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists who warn that the risks of a nuclear conflict are actually greater today than during most of the U.S.-Soviet Cold War era.)
