Today marks the National Day of Remembrance of the Quebec City Mosque Attack and Action against Islamophobia and the sixth anniversary of the attack on Januaary 29th, 2017, that took the lives of six worshippers.
As we reflect on the fight against Islamophobia and hate, we start with remembering our brothers’ names,
Some who perished while trying to stop the gunman from claiming more lives.

We will keep speaking their names:
Ibrahima Barry
Mamadou Tanou Barry
Khaled Belkacemi
Abdelkrim Hassane
Azzedine Soufiane
Aboubaker Thabti
Since that day,
5 more Muslim have perished in Islamophobic attacks in Toronto’s IMO Mosque and in London, Ontario.
We ask you to join our Green Square Campaign to spread awareness of what happened six years ago and expand the fight against Islamophobia.
Today,
Let us remember that we have made great strides in our journey towards a Canada without hate,
But we have much more to do.
Let us remember that Islamophobia,
When allowed to fester,
Poses a danger to the fabric of this country.
Let's commit to the road ahead towards a Canada without Islamophobia and hate.
