Soo Wong, MPP for Scarborough- Agincourt, reintroduced a Private Member’s Bill for the Nanjing Massacre Commemorative Day Act in the Ontario legislature on Monday in Toronto.

If passed, it will designate December 13 every year as the Nanjing Massacre Commemorative Day in Ontario. The act will be the first legislation from any Western jurisdiction that commemorates the Nanjing Massacre.

This day will provide an opportunity for all Ontarians, especially the Asian community, to gather, remember, and honour the victims and families affected by the Nanjing Massacre.
