Calgary landmarks light up with French flag in solidarity (PHOTOS)

Paris faced unimaginable terrors on Friday night, November 13, and when Paris turned off its lights the rest of the world turn theirs on. Many landmarks around the globe lit their monuments with the colours of the French Flag, including Calgary.

Here are some photos of our landmarks that lit up with the French flag in Solidarity:

The Calgary Tower

Sitting at 191 metres above the downtown core, our Calgary Tower’s bright LED lights lit up with the French Flag.

Red, white, and blue.

The #calgarytower is sporting #france colors tonight in tribute of #prayforparis!! #AwesomeToysTV

I shot this as the dawn broke just hours after the attacks in Paris. Nice to see the ‘Tower’ showing its support by displaying the colors of the French flag. A photo posted by @dab_in_yyc on Nov 15, 2015 at 9:40pm PST

McMahon Stadium

The McMahon Stadium lit up in the colours of the French Flag in an LED light display around the top of the stadium, where Calgarians driving on Crowchild Trail could easily see the bright lights.
