The funeral for the victims of what Ottawa’s mayor has called one of the city’s most shocking incidents of violence will be held this weekend.

The Buddhist Congress of Canada says a multi-faith service will be held at a convention centre on Mar. 17, and that the funeral will be open to the public.
