The vigil will be held Thursday evening in Charles Clark Square
An inter-faith prayer and candlelight vigil is planned for Thursday evening in Windsor in honour of the victims of Easter Sunday's bomb attacks in Sri Lanka.
It will be held in Charles Clark Square at 6:30pm.
Jeewen Gill, the acting president of Windsor's South Asian Community Centre says everyone is welcome.
"Just giving a message of peace, love and harmony so that we can be united, so that we can show these terrorists that things are happening worldwide and people can just show their unity," says Gill.
Nine bomb attacks were carried out at several locations, including three churches where worshippers were observing Easter Sunday. As of April 25th, the death toll stands at 359 people with over 500 people wounded.

Gill says the purpose of the vigil is to show solidarity with the victims of the attack and their families.
"We'd like to show our strength, that we are united. We can combat what any kind of terrorist activities are. We are united," he says.
The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the attacks while a Sri Lankan official has blamed breakaway members of two obscure local extremist groups.
Gill says terrorist attacks are tragic and unacceptable anywhere, but even more so when they happen in places of worship.
"People are going to the temple or churches to pray and feel secure inside," he says. "If these things are happening where we can go and feel peace of mind, we don't see the peace of mind."
