Response to Islamophobic Attack in Kanata Community Solidarity Event

On Monday, a young Muslim woman in our community was physically assaulted and threatened on an OC Transpo bus in Kanata. Police are investigating it as a hate-motivated attack.

We invite all community members, neighbours, friends, and residents to join a Community Solidarity Event to say NO to hate and YES to safe public transit for everyone.

Friday, August 15
5:30 PM – 6:30 PM
OC Transpo Innovation Drive Park & Ride (1321–3043 Innovation Drive, near Terry Fox & Innovation)

This will be a peaceful, family-friendly gathering to show that Ottawa stands together against hate and for dignity, respect, and safety for all. Please bring your families, friends, and neighbours.

Thank you for your care, kindness, and compassion. We look forward to seeing you there.
