Samuel De Champlain Bridge: Special Illumination for the National Day of Remembrance of the Quebec City Mosque Attack and Action Against Islamophobia
Montreal, January 29, 2025 – The Samuel De Champlain Bridge will be specially illuminated in green and white on January 29th, 2025, to mark the National Day of Remembrance of the Quebec City Mosque Attack and Action Against Islamophobia.
The illumination will take place from sunset to sunrise on January 29th and is part of a series of events and initiatives to commemorate the sixth anniversary of the tragic attack that took the lives of six Muslim worshippers at the Islamic Cultural Centre of Quebec City.
The National Day of Remembrance was established by the Government of Canada in 2022 to honour the victims of the attack and to raise awareness about the importance of combating Islamophobia.
“This special illumination is a powerful symbol of our solidarity with the Muslim community and our commitment to fighting Islamophobia,” said Federal Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, Ahmed Hussen. “We will never forget the victims of this horrific attack, and we will continue to work together to build a more inclusive and just society for all.”
The Samuel De Champlain Bridge is one of the most iconic landmarks in Montreal and has been used in the past to mark other important events, such as the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and the Black Lives Matter movement.
The illumination of the bridge is part of a broader initiative by the City of Montreal to commemorate the National Day of Remembrance. Other initiatives include a moment of silence at city hall, a flag-raising ceremony at the Islamic Cultural Centre of Quebec City, and a series of educational workshops and events.
“This day is an opportunity for us to come together as a community and to remember the victims of this tragedy,” said Mayor of Montreal, Valérie Plante. “We must never forget the importance of fighting against all forms of discrimination and hatred.”
