An online vigil honouring the 22 people who died in a tragic rampage began Friday with a fiddle performance from the massacre’s youngest victim and ended with a montage of the victims’ faces while “Amazing Grace” played on bagpipes.

Nova Scotia residents with personal connections to those killed spent the week gathering recordings of music and tributes from public figures, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Premier Stephen McNeil, and Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, originally from the province, for “Nova Scotia Remembers.”
