Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, his wife, Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau, and his French counterpart, Manuel Valls, visited Bataclan concert hall on Sunday to pay tribute to the victims of the Paris terror attacks of Nov. 13. Trudeau was also accompanied by Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard, Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre, Canada’s ambassador to France Lawrence Cannon, and Quebec artists and youth. Approximately 90 people were murdered at Bataclan as they attended a rock concert.
Mr. and Mrs. Trudeau, Valls, Couillard, Coderre and Cannon all laid flowers outside the Bataclan, where hundreds of letters, notes, flower bouquets and tea lights, along with many French flags, have turned the site into a memorial for the victims. In addition to the officials’ visit, a group of Quebec artists and youth were present at the ceremony to sing a well-known Canadian peace anthem: Quand les hommes vivront d’amour. The group sang in French, conveying that “when men will live for love, there will be peace on earth…”
PM Trudeau and his wife both had tear in their eyes as they attended the ceremony organized by the Quebec government. In addition to the officials who attended the event in the morning, more Canadian officials including other premiers are anticipated to visit the site later on Sunday evening. Meanwhile, Trudeau and French President François Hollande held a bilateral meeting later Sunday at the Élysée Palace in Paris, with security and terrorism, and climate change on the agenda.
