Calgary vigil planned for tonight in response to the Quebec City mosque attack

Calgarians will rally behind Canadian Muslims tonight in response to last night’s deadly attack at the Centre Culturel Islamique de Québec.

Vigils have been planned across the country to mourn the victims and take a stand against Islamophobia, hatred, and violence.

As Prime Minister Trudeau said, “Tonight, we grieve with the people of Ste-Foy and all Canadians.”

In Calgary, the Canadian Cultural Mosaic Foundation is holding a vigil in front of City Hall tonight.
