A memorial mass will be held Friday evening in the Quebec town where two people were killed and nine injured when a pickup truck crashed into pedestrians.
Two men, Gérald Charest and Jean Lafrenière, died after being struck on Monday afternoon.
Police have said those injured in the crash range in age from less than a year old to 77, and on Thursday a Quebec City hospital said two injured adults remained in critical condition.
