Kingston MPP Sophie Kiwala speaks to the crowd at the Vigil following the Paris shootings in support victims of terrorist violence around the world. Nov. 2015.
PeaceQuest would like to amplify the voices of those organizing the many vigils happening across Canada in response to the shooting in Quebec City. We encourage you to use your time and voice in whatever way you can to help build a culture of peace and acceptance. Feel free to attend, or if you can’t attend, to spread the word about these events. Please note we do not know the organizers, nor can we speak to how each event is being organized.
Below is a list based on a cursory search on facebook. We encourage you to share other vigils you hear about with us on Twitter @PeaceQuestYGK
