Laurier condemns horrifying act of Islamophobia and offers support to Muslim community

June 7, 2021

The attack on the Muslim family in London, Ontario, is a heinous act of Islamophobic violence and terror. The Laurier community grieves for the family and extends our deepest condolences to their loved ones and community. We must stand together to end the racism and hate that fuels this kind of violence and spreads fear by targeting Muslim Canadians, and support those who experience Islamophobia in our community and beyond.
