“Stand Up for Ukraine” illumination tributes from coast to coast

As an expression of solidarity with Ukraine, on 9 May, landmarks and iconic sites across Canada will be lit up in blue and yellow, the colours of the EU and Ukrainian flags.

 

The lighting shows are organized in collaboration with our Canadian partners and EU consular colleagues. Locations include:

  • Nova Scotia Province House
  • Halifax City Hall
  • La Grande Roue de Montreal
  • Ottawa Sign
  • Niagara Falls
  • CN Tower
  • Edmonton High-Level Bridge
  • Vancouver City Hall
  • Burrard Street Bridge, Vancouver
  • Science World, Vancouver
  • Bloedel Conservatory, Vancouver

Flag-raisings will also take place on 9 May in Ottawa, Halifax, and Toronto, where the Consul General of France, Mr. Tudor Alexis, representing the current French Presidency of the Council of the European Union, will host a ceremony in the presence of Toronto Mayor John Tory.

Photos will be shared on our social media channels. You are also welcome to snap and share your own photos if you spot any of the illuminated landmarks where you are. Tag us @EUinCanada.
