Today is the 6th anniversary of the Quebec City mosque murders.
Anti-Muslim hatred and violence continues across Canada and beyond.
Each of us must continue to speak out against Islamophobia and encourage dialogue and engagement among religious and ethnic communities. We need to model kindness, care, and understanding for our children, and work with them to confront ignorance, prejudice, and myths regarding Islam and Muslims.
