A number of local peace and Middle East human rights organizations are hosting a candlelight vigil at 6:30 p.m. this Saturday at the main gate of the Public Gardens to commemorate the 162 Gazans killed and more than 1,000 injured by recent Israeli attacks.
Each participant will be asked to hold a candle and a card with the name of one of the Gazan victims.
The event is sponsored by Canadians, Arabs and Jews for a Just Peace; Independent Jewish Voices; the Halifax Peace Coalition; Canadian Voice of Women; and the Canadian Peace Alliance.
