The "Peace Factory" toured through southwestern Ontario in winter 1997, and included a stop at Rockway Mennonite Collegiate in Kitchener. An interactive exhibit, Peace Factory was a cooperative project of several Mennonite groups. Its goal was to "help all Christians connect their faith in God with a life of peacemaking." It covered approximately 2000 square feet and had several different learning stations for adults and children.
A woman draws on one of the Peace Factory "Graffiti Panels." The panels were constructed to roll the paper like a scroll so that the drawings could be saved.

Boys play a bean bag game at the Peace Factory. Children toss bean bags through holes in a map of Africa then gather the bags in a toy truck. The game is intended to connect peacemaking with feeding the hungry.
