2021/8/10
On the evening of August 5, to coincide with the moment the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima (in 1945) on the morning of August 6 (Japan Time), the City of Montreal held its Hiroshima Memorial Peace Ceremony in the Japanese Pavilion of the Montreal Botanical Garden. Consul General Izawa and Ms. Suzie Miron, Montreal City Council Chair representing the Mayor, rang the Peace Bell—which was gifted to Montreal by Hiroshima on the occasion of their twinning—in honor of the victims. Montreal and Hiroshima, sister cities, were twinned in 1998.
