Vigil at the BC Legislature Memorial

A grassroots organized vigil across Canada's cenotaphs and memorials happened yesterday. This was to honour the sacrifice of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who died at the Ottawa tomb of the unknown soldier, and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, who died near the Canadian Forces recruit school in St Jean Quebec.

There were people of all ages. People who are or did serve in the Canadian Forces and those who were not. There was a sense of why these men died and why they were targeted by mentally disturbed Canadian citizens. All who came wanted to do something to show they didn't like what happened and for the hope it never happens again.

What we and the officials that represent us do in the coming days ahead will shape us as a country for the future.
