Using everything from crayons to holiday cookie sprinkles, dozens of children of U of T law students, staff and faculty expressed their creative side in the Faculty's Kids for PEACE Holiday Art Show.

The children -- ranging in age from 18 months to 15 years - submitted drawings and canvases that focused on the theme of peace, using variations on images of doves, the planet Earth and peace signs. Many older children also submitted vibrantly coloured abstracts and integrated the theme of diversity, multiculturalism and friendship into their pictures.

All U of T Faculty of Law alumni are invited to attend the Law Alumni Association (LAA) Annual General Meeting on Monday, September 12, 2011 at the Faculty of Law, 78 Queen's Park from 5:30-7:00 pm. Please RSVP by September 5, 2011 to sandra.janzen@utoronto.ca or 416.946.8227.
