Hiroshima remembered in chalk

There was a pretty jarring sight on the sidewalks along James Street North Thursday evening.

This was the scene as volunteers were drawing chalk circles around people as a way of reminding people about the devastating and deadly atomic bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, Japan this week, 68 years ago.

The event is called the “Shadow Project” and the organizer says the symbolic outlines and messages act as a visual and educational reminder about what happened.
