Students in Canada held a series of events in universities this month marking Maaveerar Naal, a day to remember those who gave their lives for the Tamil struggle.

The universities held events in the weeks leading up to November 27th, a date commemorated by Tamils across the world. Dance and songs were performed, speeches and poems were read out and flowers were laid in tribute to the thousands who died.
