Over 60 people gathered in Charles Clark Square
A little rain wasn't enough to stop a candle light vigil for the victims of the bombing attacks in Sri Lanka.
Bombs were detonated at nine sites across the country on Easter Sunday including some at churches and several luxury hotels.
Close to 60 people gathered for an inter-faith prayer and candlelight vigil in Charles Clark Square Thursday night.
Community members from Christian, Jewish and Muslim faiths gathered to push back against division and help with the healing process.
Acting President of Windsor's South Asian Community Centre, Jeewen Gill was one of several people to address the crowd.
"Nothing can ever excuse the indiscriminate targeting and destruction of life and livelihoods and the creation of panic for its own sake," he says.
Gill told the crowd that no country is immune to terror attacks.
"Terrorism has unfortunately been with us in various forms across ages and continents, but modern terrorism is being released on an entirely different scale," he says. "No country can claim to be immune."
The death toll stands at 253 people with over 500 people wounded — that was rolled back from 359.
A Health Ministry official tells CTV News the reason for the recount is the blasts had damaged some bodies beyond recognition, making accurate identification difficult.
