Canadians from coast-to-coast stood in solidarity with Paris a day after a series of co-ordinated terror attacks rocked the French capital, claiming 129 lives.

On Friday night, several Canadian landmarks lit up in the colours of the French flag. The CN Tower, Niagara Falls, the Calgary Tower and the Vancouver airport were just some of the landmarks that lit up red, white and blue following Friday’s horrific events.

On Saturday, Parliament Hill and many other government buildings flew their flags at half-mast, and several cities across the country held vigils to honour the victims of the Paris attacks.

Montreal

A sombre crowd gathered outside the French consulate in Montreal on Saturday afternoon. Many attendees were dressed in black and carried flowers and French flags in hand.

A simple white sign placed at the memorial read “I am French and I am not afraid.”

“It is with dismay that we learned of the attacks in Paris. We strongly condemn these acts of violence,” Montreal Mayor Denis Corderre said in a statement. “On my own behalf and on behalf of all Montrealers, I express my deepest sorrow and my sympathies to the families and relatives of the victims.”

After news broke of the attacks Friday night, many Montrealers showed up to the consulate carrying candles and signs with messages of support such as “Pray for Paris.”

Toronto

Hundreds of mourners shared a moment of silence in Nathan Phillips Square outside Toronto City Hall at 2 p.m. Saturday. Toronto Mayor John Tory addressed the vigil with a message of solidarity.

“These are the acts of evil people,” Tory said in his speech. “Our hearts and our prayers go out to the victims.”

French Consul Gen. Marc Trouyet also spoke at the event, saying Toronto “has so much to be proud of” in terms of the city’s outpouring of support.

The night of the attack, the Toronto sign outside city hall and the CN Tower were lit up in the colours of the French flag.

Ottawa

Shortly after sunset on Saturday, about 200 people gathered for a candlelight vigil outside Ottawa’s French Embassy at 42 Sussex Dr. Dozens of bouquets of flowers and other mementoes lined the fence surrounding the embassy, where flags flew at half-mast.

Nicolas Chapuis, the French ambassador to Canada, attended the vigil and thanked the crowd for the outpouring of support.

Organized by the Rideau River Residence Association (RRRA), which represents students living in residence at Carleton University, the vigil was intended to offer support to all those affected by the attacks.

“Some of our friends, classmates and family have been affected as have we all by this terrible violence,” organizers said in a Facebook post. “Let us stand in solidarity with the French people.”

Vancouver

Around 600 people are expected to attend a vigil outside the Vancouver Art Gallery, located at 750 Hornby St., on Saturday.

“Paris is under attack again. France is under attack again. We stand united in solidarity for the victims,” organizers said on the vigil’s Facebook page.

“Though this happened in Paris we are citizens of the world and part of a global community. What impacts those in France impacts us all.”

“Vancouver Stands with Paris” will begin at 7:30 p.m.

Halifax

A vigil was held at the Grand Parade Square at 6 p.m. on Saturday. Halifax Mayor Mike Savage was in attendance and tweeted his support.

Also on Saturday, the Montreal Canadiens paid tribute to Paris by lighting their rink at the Bell Centre with the colours of the French flag. The Toronto Maple Leafs displayed an Eiffel Tower peace symbol on a video screen before their game in Toronto.

Islamic State militants have claimed responsibility for the attacks that killed 127 and injured 352 others.

French President Francois Hollande has vowed to attack the Islamic State group “without mercy” for orchestrating the deadliest attacks the country has seen since the Second World War.

France remains in a state of emergency and all of its borders are closed. Hollande has also announced three days of national mourning for the victims of the attacks.
