In Canada, ten years after the Great East Japan Earthquake, the Capitol bell was rang and officials mourned the victims.
The event, which took place at the Capitol of Canada in the capital Ottawa, was made possible at the suggestion of Co-Chair Jim Munson of the Japan Parliamentary Union of Canada.
At 2:46 pm local time on the 11th, the song "Furusato" was performed three times on bells of various sizes installed in the tower of the Capitol, and then 10 bells were mourned for the victims. It was rang.
At the time of the event, Japanese Ambassador Yasuhisa Kawamura, who is stationed in Ottawa, issued a statement and delivered a thousand cranes folded by an 8-year-old boy living in eastern Canada with his classmates to the Japanese Embassy in Ottawa. I introduced that.
He expressed his gratitude, saying, "Japan is steadily recovering thanks to the warm support of the international community, including Canada."
