Quebec City has inaugurated a memorial to the victims of the 2017 mosque shooting. The commemorative work designed by artist Luce Pelletier is located near the Islamic Cultural Centre of Quebec, in the city's Ste-Foy district.

QUEBEC CITY -- Quebec City has inaugurated a memorial to the victims of the 2017 mosque shooting.

Labeaume says the people of Quebec City want to live together in harmony, a sentiment reinforced by another recent tragedy, a sword attack that left two people dead and five injured in the city's historic district on Halloween night. The area for reflection includes a written recounting of what happened that night while the commemorative portion includes the names of the six men engraved on stones, each adorned with perforated aluminum sheets with patterns inspired by their countries of origin: Morocco, Guinea, Tunisia and Algeria.

The president of the mosque gave an emotional address with a message for the children of the six victims.

The only thing that can defeat hate is love. That is something all of you need to learn.

Haters will be all mad, they shit their pants.
