BC Place Glows In Support Of Brussels

By now, everyone has heard of the recent terrorist attacks inside the Brussels metro-station and airport in Zaventem.

Similar to terrorists attacks in France and Turkey, this one was unfortunately no different and has shaken the world to its very foundation.

Every time a tragic incident like this has occurs, we all ask just why? Why are innocent people being terrorized? Why are they forced to leave their homes, and escape violence?

Although options of sending help is limited, sending a symbol of hope is fast, and powerful. That’s exactly what B.C. Place Stadium has done with its Northern Lights Display, lighting up Belgium’s flag in support and solidarity.

The City of Vancouver has built up a reputation of boasting a supportive community, and being home to a place of peace.
