TORONTO, Jan. 30, 2017 /CNW/ - The Canadian Race Relations Foundation condemns the terrorist attack on the Centre Culturel Islamique de Québec in Quebec City, which left 6 people dead and more than a dozen injured.
"Such a despicable act must be condemned by all Canadians as an affront to our humanity and the values of our nation," said Albert Lo, Chair of the Board, CRRF. 'That this cold-blooded attack took place in a place of worship, targeting people at prayer, only adds to our collective revulsion. We are confident that our law enforcement agencies will thoroughly investigate this tragedy and ensure that those responsible for this heinous crime are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
"At this time, our thoughts are with the families of those who were murdered and with those who have been injured in the attack," said Anita Bromberg, Executive Director CRRF. "We must stand united against those who seek to shatter the peace we strive for across our nation."
