토론토협의회 2022년 신년광고

To our dear Korean and Canadian friends,

Each New Year traditionally starts with a wish for the year ahead. Ours is this: that this Year of the Black Tiger becomes known as the one that finally spells the end of the Korean War and the start of lasting peace on the Korean peninsula.

Tigers represent resilience, strength, and wisdom. In that spirit, we would like to acknowledge those of you who have given so much of yourselves in the past year to help us make progress towards this dream. We are deeply grateful for your support.

The brilliant spirit of the Republic of Korean has captivated the world through K-pop and K-drama. It now needs to do the same with a K-peace, a model for the peace-building process.

Declaring a formal end to the Korean War, as a start, would allow millions of people to begin to heal from the pain and trauma of warfare and the separation of families. It would also put all of us on the path to peace and economic prosperity, ushering in the start of a fresh new era.

After all, the British and the French were once at war in Canada, yet their descendants have worked together for over 150 years to make this young country a global force.

So let’s greet this new year with hearts filled with hope, and determination as fierce as that of the roaring Korean tiger that once prowled the Baekdudaegan mountains, across the Korean peninsula, and far beyond.

In the coming year, we at the Peaceful Unification Advisory Council, Toronto Chapter, will work hard to make our New Year’s wish a reality, with passion and with determination. Please stand alongside us as we try and bring about meaningful change.

On an individual basis, we sincerely wish each and every one of you the health of a brave black tiger and much good fortune in 2022.

President Kim Yeon Soo, on behalf of all members under Peaceful Unification Advisory Council – Toronto Chapter






지속가능한 한반도 평화 실현

존경하는 한인 동포 여러분, 2022년 검은 호랑이의 해, 임인년의 태양이 떠올랐습니다. 그동안 애써 전진해오신 여러분 덕분에 새해 아침은 일상을 회복할 희망의 빛이 더욱더 말갛게 빛을 발하는 듯합니다. 올해 2022년은 백두대간을 넘나들며 호령하는 한국 호랑이처럼 날로 세계적 위상이 더해가는 우리 대한민국이 평화에서도 K 평화 모델을 만들 수 있길 간절히 바랍니다.

전쟁의 기억과 상처를 치유하고, 평화와 경제의 선순환에 마중물이 될 종전선언을 선포하며 한반도 평화 시대로 대전환하길 소망합니다. 저희 민주평통이 호랑이 같은 열정과 정직으로 단장하고 더욱더 실천에 노력하겠습니다.

존경하는 동포 여러분, 함께 해주십시오. 지켜봐 주십시오. 그리고 무엇보다도 올해 용맹한 흑범처럼 건강하시고, 새해 복 많이 받으십시오.
