For the second time in Canadian history, the Ottawa Police Service recognized Trans Day of Remembrance.

On Friday at 6 p.m., a banner was unfurled at police headquarters at 474 Elgin St.  It will be displayed until Nov. 21.

Trans Day of Remembrance was created to remember those who have been victims of anti-transgender hatred. Events are held internationally throughout November to commemorate those who have died and raise awareness about hate crimes.
