"Niagara Falls stands in solidarity with the province of Nova Scotia and the entire country in mourning the individuals who lost their lives in the senseless tragedy," reads a statement from The Niagara Parks Commission issued Tuesday.

The agency particularly acknowledged the loss of RCMP Constable Heidi Stevenson, a 23-year veteran of the force who was killed in the line of duty this weekend.

The Niagara Falls Illumination Board will light up the falls tonight from 8 p.m. to midnight.

The recent tragedy in in Portapique, N.S., resulted in the deaths of at least 22 people, including a teacher, nurse, retired firefighter, and a 17-year-old girl.

A virtual vigil to celebrate the lives of the victims will take place this Friday at 7 p.m.
