Solidarity vigil in Saskatoon draws over 1,000 people
Saskatonians packed City Hall Square Tuesday evening to honour the victims of Sunday night’s Quebec City mosque shooting, and to support those affected by President Trump’s travel ban.
Over 1,000 people from all walks of life held candles, hugged each other and sang during the hour-long solidarity vigil organized by grassroots community members.
“I love how people gathered here,” said Ayesha Ishtiaq, a Canadian citizen who immigrated from Pakistan. “It really helps.”
Ishtiaq said she was proud to be Canadian while looking at the crowd.
