A candle light vigil honouring the victims and survivors of this morning’s nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida is set to take place tonight in Toronto’s Gay Village.

The gathering will run Sunday, June 12 from 8 to 11 p.m. at Barbara Hall Park, 519 Church St., just north of Wellesley Street East, organized by grassroots organizers from Toronto’s Pride community.

All are welcome to bring a candle, say a prayer, and seek or give comfort or simply stand in solidarity with those impacted by this tragedy in Orlando.
