A Saturday vigil planned to honor the victims of the 2017 Quebec City mosque attack has been moved online, amid fears that raucous ongoing Covid protests in Ottawa could put attendees at risk.
"The in-person vigil, organized by Canadians United Against Hate, was cancelled with only 24 hours notice out of concern for the safety of participants and attendees who might face violent demonstrations related to the truckers protest," the group wrote in a statement. "A virtual event is being organized on very short notice to mark the anniversary, along with the first official National Day of Remembrance for the victims, and the first National Day of Action Against Islamophobia."
