Saint John residents will gather to remember those killed in this week’s plane crash in Iran.
A special vigil will be held in front of Saint John City Hall beginning at 6 p.m. Friday.
Flags across the city have also been lowered as a symbol of respect for the victims.
“As Canadians we come together at tragic times, to support, grieve and try to make some sense of such difficult news,” said Saint John Mayor Don Darling in a tweet.
The city said everyone is invited and welcomed to attend the vigil.

At least 63 Canadians were among the 176 passengers killed in Wednesday’s crash.
On Thursday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said they have evidence to suggest Iran may have unintentionally shot down the plane with a surface-to-air missile.
