National Day of Remembrance and Action Against Islamophobia

In 2017, Ibrahima Barry, Mamadou Tanou Barry, Khaled Belkacemi, Abdelkrim Hassane, Azzedine Soufiane and Aboubaker Thabti were killed while praying at their mosque in Quebec City.

The Green Square Campaign was started to remember the victims and survivors of the Quebec City mosque attack, with the green representing the carpets of the mosque where the victims last stood to pray. 
This attack is a painful reminder of the consequences of Islamophobia, hatred and violent racism.

As a City, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting Muslim communities in the face of racism, hate and discrimination.
