Statement from Mayor Eisenburger - In solidarity with the Muslim community & Quebec

January 30, 2017, Hamilton, ON - As the news broke over the weekend, and reports of the tragic events have emerged, Mayor Eisenberger has instructed staff to have the Canadian flag outside Hamilton City Hall lowered to half-staff in solidarity with the Muslim community. Additionally, the Quebec flag will be raised at City Hall in support of the City of Quebec.

The City of Hamilton has been a safe haven for newcomers to this country for over 100 years. We will continue to welcome all those who seek safety and a new life in Canada.

Mayor Eisenberger has reached out to the Imam’s at our local Mosques to express his concern and continued support.
