The Liberal government has proclaimed that National Day Against Gun Violence will be held annually on the first Friday of June, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claiming it will be a “Day of remembrance and a time to recommit ourselves to building a Canada free of gun violence.”
Trudeau made the announcement June 1 during a press conference in Toronto, alongside Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino and Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth Marci Ien, as well as representatives of the Toronto Raptors basketball team.
