The Islamic Cultural Centre in Quebec City honoured the six men who were killed on the night of Jan. 29, 2017, when a gunman opened fire in an attack that left 17 children fatherless.

At a commemoration for the 2017 tragedy that saw six lives lost at a mosque in Quebec's capital, organizers called for bridges to be built with other communities, especially in the current political climate.

Only one bullet hole remains in the wall of the Centre culturel islamique de Québec, eight years after a gunman stormed into the mosque and killed six Muslim men who had come to pray.

Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante says the rules introduced by the Quebec government  aren’t working. Instead, the city will allow short-term rentals between June 10 and Sept. 10 at primary residences across the city.

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on the National Day of Remembrance of the Quebec City Mosque Attack and Action against Islamophobia:

The proposed law will include mechanisms to enforce adherence to values such as gender equality and secularism

The weather may be in the single digits but there’s skating, vintage luxury shops, an ice hotel, a jazz bar to cozy up in. Not to mention tobogganing down a track at 45 mph.

Canada’s highest court will decide whether a law that Quebec enacted in 2019, barring public-sector workers from wearing religious symbols, violates their rights.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has met with the families of six men who were killed at a Quebec City mosque, days before the anniversary of the 2017 attack. Eight years ago, on Jan. 29, 2017, Alexandre Bissonnette killed six men at the Centre culturel islamique du Québec and this year the centre has planned several events to mark the tragedy.

Quebecers can expect another day of windy, chilly conditions on Tuesday, with instability continuing to affect the province. According to Environment Canada, the gusty winds and dropping temperatures will create a particularly harsh winter day.

Quebec City is hoping to see the introduction of more refrigerated skating rinks as warmer winters risk impacting outdoor hockey.
