The Nova Scotia government is asking the public to “come together” for moments of silence in memory of the 22 people killed in a two-day shooting rampage in the province nearly two years ago.
It is asking for the observances to take place at noon on April 18 and on April 19—the dates in 2020 during which the worst mass shooting in modern Canadian history occurred.
The Nova Scotia legislature rose today in tribute and held a moment of silence ahead of its Easter weekend break.
Premier Tim Houston says the flags at Province House will be lowered to half-mast from sunrise on April 18 to sunset on April 19 and so will the flags at all provincial government buildings.
