Flags are flying at half-mast at all Town of Newmarket facilities in memory of all the victims, including 63 Canadians, in the tragic plane crash of Ukraine International Airlines Flight PS752 en route from Tehran, Iran to Kyiv, Ukraine.

“On behalf of the Town of Newmarket, I offer my deepest condolences to those who have lost family, friends, and loved ones in this tragedy” says Mayor John Taylor. I want our Iranian community to know that your Town and your friends are standing beside you in sympathy. The Iranian community must feel a loss and an impact that many of us can only imagine. As the days and weeks unfold, please know that your neighbours, your colleagues and your friends are all thinking about you and are ready to support you.”

Flags will fly at half-mast until further notice
