The victims of one of Canada’s worst mass murders will be remembered Friday.
A vigil for the Gakhal and Saran families will be held at 6 p..m. in front of the Greater Vernon Museum.
On April 5, 1996, nine members of the two families were killed by an estranged relative in their Okanagan Avenue home.
“The Gakhal family invites the community to attend this memorial to help honour the lives of those killed, to support the survivors and to be mindful of the potentially devastating impact of domestic violence,” said Brooke McLardy, with the Vernon Women’s Transition House Society.
There will be Indian refreshments and a chance to meet the surviving family members after the vigil.
