The Canadian Horseshoe and American Falls will be illuminated tonight to support a Muslim family killed in London this weekend.

Between 9:30 and 10:30 this evening, the Falls will be lit in white to show support for the family.

This is just one of the tributes taking place to pay tribute to the victims of Sunday's hit and run.

A vigil, which will be attended by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier Doug Ford, will be held tonight at the London Muslim Mosque.

Four members of the Afzaal family lost their lives after being hit by a vehicle on Sunday.

Police say the family was targeted due to their Muslim faith.
