With the enormous outpouring of grief and shock at the Classy Lane tragedy by everyone involved in the harness racing community in Canada, a light vigil has been planned for Tuesday, January 12, 2016 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m in front of Classy Lane Training Centre.
This low key gathering will provide an opportunity to honour and remember the 43 horses that perished so tragically in the fire and extend moral support to the owners, trainers and grooms whose lives have been so terribly affected by this tradegy.
In light of the nature of this tragedy and for safetys sake, there will be NO FLAME of any kind permitted at this gathering.
You are encouraged to bring flashlights and/or battery-operated candles.
Cards, flowers, letters and/or poems would be much appreciated as a show of support.
For those without something to illuminate, 180 electronic candles have been donated by Ideal Training Centre and Alec at Giant Tiger in Acton.
