The National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Terrorism is observed in memory of those who lost their lives to acts of terror in Canada and abroad.[1] Taking place every year on June 23, it marks the anniversary of the bombing of Air India Flight 182 off the coast of Ireland.[2][3]

On this day, flags across Canada are flown at half-mast to honour the victims of the bombing, as well as other acts of terrorist violence that have taken lives of Canadians.[4][5][6]

The National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Terrorism was proclaimed in 2005 and first observed on June 23 that year.[1]
