Lowering the Flags for the Victims of the Quebec Attack

Lowering the flags to half-mast

In recognition of the tragic shooting in Quebec City, the University of Alberta has lowered the university, provincial, and Canadian flags. The University of Alberta community extends our condolences to the family and friends of the victims of yesterday's attack. Our thoughts are also with our academic colleagues, community partners, and university volunteers from Muslim communities here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and the world.

Public Vigil

The Alberta Muslim Public Affairs Council is organizing a public candlelight vigil & prayer in remembrance of the victims at the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre. This vigil is being held tonight (Monday, January 30) on the Alberta Legislative Grounds.
