A bouquet of flowers of remembrance at Prince Rupert's Cenotaph on Sunday |
A second service member was also attacked in the Quebec incident and is recovering from his injuries.
With the shock of such incidents still resonating across the country, the public took to local cenotaphs across the nation to show their respect.
Through last week and particularly on a sun drenched Sunday afternoon, residents of the city stopped by one by one, taking a short moment of reflection at the city's cenotaph,
Never lingering long, but standing in front of the column of remembrance to offer up a silent salute to the two Canadian soldiers murdered in the last seven days.

Flag at half-staff in memoriam of the slain Canadian soldiers last week |
Sometime in the period from Wednesday to Sunday, that one bouquet was delivered to the memorial.
It along with the Canadian flag at half staff, a stark reminder for those that have travelled by the city's memorial of the past, of the unfathomable events of last Monday and Wednesday.
Over the weekend details of a fund for the survivors of the two Canadian servicemen were released, you can learn more about that from this link.
