LCCC stands in solidarity against Islamophobia & all forms of racism and discrimination

January 29 is a date that Muslims in Quebec and the rest of Canada will forever mourn. Islamophobic‘s took the innocent lives of six Muslim men, as they prayed at the Islamic Cultural Centre of Quebec City. Many more were injured. This attack affected and continues to afflict many families, friends, neighbours, and communities across Canada.
