London and Quebec City have both felt the pain of Islamophobic murder.
On Friday, the mayors of those two cities joined together to offer their support for a national summit on Islamophobia.
London Mayor Ed Holder and his counterpart from Quebec City, Régis Labeaume, wrote in a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that they "look forward to playing an active role in this work, while ensuring those who have been most directly impacted are provided ample consideration and space to lead."
The letter comes in the wake of the murder of four members of a Muslim family, which left a young boy in hospital.
In addition to voices from the Muslim community, "representatives from Canadian municipalities can support this process, committing to doing the work required to eradicate the scourge of Islamophobia across the country" the two mayors wrote in the letter.
London's Police Services Board has also called for a summit.
Nathaniel Veltman, the man accused of committing the attack, will be in court on Monday.
He also faces terrorism charges.
