The bombing of Air India Flight 182 off the coast of Ireland resulted in the killing of all 329 crew and passengers (of which 82 were children below the age of 13), including 268 Canadian citizens, 27 British citizens, 22 American citizens and 24 Indian citizens.
Among those who addressed the attendees were Energy Minister Adrian Dix, whose wife Renee Saklikar lost her aunt Zeb and uncle Umar Jethwa in the horrific bombing, and Indian Consul General Masakui Rungsung.
