"This week we join our friends in Canada’s Tamil-Canadian community in observing the fourth anniversary of the end of the decades-long civil war in Sri Lanka."
"The Week of Remembrance is a time to remember the innocent who were killed or injured during the decade long civil war and to look towards a brighter future for the people of Sri Lanka."
"Most importantly to me and many other Canadians, the Tamil community has ensured that there is awareness in Canada and around the world about the horrors and violence that occurred during the Civil War. Although the war is over, the challenges facing civilians in Sri Lanka is still very concerning."
