About the event
Dear friends and members of the community,

This event marks the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is a moment to honour the memories of victims, amplify messages of peace from the Hibakusha, and reflect on our shared commitment to nuclear disarmament. We also celebrate the sister‑city bond between Montreal and Hiroshima, established in 1998.
