At a commemoration for the 2017 tragedy that saw six lives lost at a mosque in Quebec's capital, organizers called for bridges to be built with other communities, especially in the current political climate.
Only one bullet hole remains in the wall of the Centre culturel islamique de Québec, 8 years after a gunman stormed into the mosque and killed six Muslim men who had come to pray.
The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on the National Day of Remembrance of the Quebec City Mosque Attack and Action against Islamophobia:
Michael Andlauer announced that his Ottawa Senators would be playing preseason games at the Videotron Centre in Quebec City. This will happen in a few months.
The weather may be in the single digits but there’s skating, vintage luxury shops, an ice hotel, a jazz bar to cozy up in. Not to mention tobogganing down a track at 45 mph.
The NHL will be back in Quebec City as the Ottawa Senators plan to play the Montreal Canadiens and New Jersey Devils during the pre-season.
The Ottawa Senators will spend part of their training camp leading into the 2025-26 season in Quebec City. At a press conference held on Monday, Senators owner Michael Andlauer announced the Senators will play two pre-season games at Videotron Centre in September.
Ottawa Senators owner Michael Andlauer firmly rejected the talk of a potential relocation of the franchise to Quebec City following an earlier franchise announcement.
The Senators will play two preseason games this fall at Quebec City's Videotron Centre, a rink built to attract an NHL franchise someday.
While Quebec City longs for the return of professional hockey, locals will have the opportunity to take in the NHL next fall when the Videotron Centre plays host to a pair of Ottawa Senators‘ exhibition contests.
Montrealers of all faiths came together at Parc metro on Wednesday night for the National Day of Remembrance and Action Against Islamophobia – honouring the six Muslim men who died 8 years ago – killed during the Quebec City mosque attack.
