Citizens for Democracy, an independent advocacy group, estimates that during the first week of November 1984, approximately 8,000 people were killed in Delhi, India's capital in orchestrated attacks that were fuelled by anti-Sikh sentiments.  The vigil will be held on Remembrance Day, a time for all Canadians to reflect on the ideals of Justice, Truth and Freedom. In addition to paying respect to the victims and survivors of 1984, the event will also make a tribute to the Sikh soldiers who fought in World Wars I and II. The vigil will feature personal testimonials and multimedia presentations. A special supplication prayer will be recited at the end of the program to seek blessings for those who perished and justice for the victims. The Project 84 Committee was formed to create awareness of the anti-Sikh pogroms and highlight the Indian government's continuing unwillingness to provide justice to the victims.
