Families of the victims of the Air India bombing gathered in Toronto Friday for a groundbreaking memorial ceremony overlooking Lake Ontario.
They were joined by federal and provincial ministers, Toronto councillors and members of the India Canada Association.
The event, which included a ceremonial groundbreaking to launch the construction of a new monument, comes 21 years to the day after Air India Flight 182 exploded off the coast of Ireland.
"Let this be a beacon of peace; let this be a beacon of saying 'no' to those who choose violence," Ontario Provincial Immigration Minister Mike Colle told the gathering.
A public inquiry into the terrorist bombing, which killed 329 people -- including 280 Canadians -- began this week.
