Montreal flags at half-mast for Nova Scotia today

This afternoon Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante announced that the national, provincial and city flags that fly at city hall have been lowered to half-mast in honour of the victims of this weekend’s mass shooting in and around Portapique, Nova Scotia.

“The flags at Montreal’s City Hall fly at half-mast today, in tribute to the lives taken in the Portapique massacre in Nova Scotia, and in solidarity with the families and relatives of the victims. We are with you.”
