The peaceful gathering of people wore and waived Israeli and Canadian flags, joined by some families gathering for Purim celebrations. Purim is a Jewish holiday commemorating the defeat of plans to annihilate all Jewish people.
“Today is about not standing by and just watching evil in this world. Today we stand up for peace, tolerance and an end to bigotry,” said rally organizer Ron East.
