VANCOUVER — It’s been 38 years since two bombs were placed on separate flights in Vancouver setting off what would become Canada’s worst act of terrorism.
Air India flight 1-82 blew up hours later off Ireland’s coast, killing all 329 people aboard — most of whom were Canadians.
Health Minister Adrian Dix will take part in an event today for the National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Terrorism at the Air India Memorial in Vancouver.
Similar events will be held in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.
