History
The Vancouver Vietnam Day Committee was formed in 1966 through a coalition of several organizations that opposed the Vietnam War. A coordinating committee was established in 1968 to establish additional committees and organize demonstrations. A schism in the movement in 1969 led to the formation of the Vancouver Committee to End the War in Vietnam, which turned its assets over to the Vancouver Vietnam Action Committee later that year. At the conclusion of the war, the Committee ceased operations.
