MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — Mayor Bonnie Crombie will lead a vigil in Mississauga Sunday to mourn the victims of the recent Paris attacks, and other terror killings around the globe.
The vigil, planned for 4 p.m. Sunday in Celebration Square will pay respects to the 129 victims of Friday’s attacks in the French capital, but marks other attacks in Beirut, Kenya and Baghdad.
“I invite all residents to come together and take part in this vigil of solidarity, peace, and remembrance,” Crombie said. “Together, we will demonstrate our community’s unequivocal determination to stand up to fear and violence, and stand firm in defence of the unwavering universal values of peace, adherence to the rule of law, and respect for all people, of all backgrounds.”
