London to Recognize Anniversary of Deadly Quebec City Mosque Shooting
City council will allow a local chapter of the National Council of Canadian Muslims to use city hall space and will lower the city flag to half-mast.
Six people were killed and eight others injured in a terror attack at the mosque on Jan. 29, 2017.
Ward 4 Coun. Jesse Helmer said it’s important to take action against Islamaphobia.
“Those of us who don’t hold that kind of hatred in our hearts, we need to express to everyone, unfortunately through memorials like this, and actions in our everyday life,” said Helmer.
“That kind of hatred is not acceptable, that kind of action is not acceptable, that kind of violence is not acceptable, we are all human beings and we can’t target each other for who we love and what we believe.”
A memorial will be held in a committee room from noon to 7 p.m. on Jan. 29.
