Let's have some uplifting news this time !
In 2016, a local bus driver here defended a woman wearing a niqab who was being harassed by someone on his bus.
He was later diagnosed with terminal cancer.
As his health declined, the local Muslim community banded together to raise money for him, allowing him to buy mobility equipment.
"He was very humble and did not want to be called a hero, although that is what he was to many in the Muslim community." -- Ihsaan Gardee, National Council of Canadian Muslims
RIP Alain Charette <3
