April was designated Genocide Remembrance, Condemnation and Prevention Month in Canada  

Humanity has witnessed many genocides, including the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide, the Holodomor, the Armenian genocide, the Srebrenica genocide and the genocide of Yazidis. Canada has welcomed survivors of these atrocities and the descendants of those who perished.

We have a duty to remember. Genocide Remembrance, Condemnation and Prevention Month is an opportunity to reflect on these tragedies and learn from them to prevent them from happening again.
