Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will join Canadians in honouring the people who died in air disasters and "mourn alongside those they left behind" Sunday on the National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Air Disasters.

The National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Air Disasters is a day to commemorate victims who died on Jan. 8, 2020 after the Iranian military shot down Flight PS752, which killed 176 people including 55 Canadian citizens and 33 permanent residents.

The Ukraine International Airlines jetliner was bound for Canada via Ukraine and shot down shortly after its takeoff from Tehran in January 2020.

"On this solemn occasion, we remember the victims of all air disasters, including Air Ontario Flight 1363, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 (Flight ET302), Air India FLight 182, and Ukrainian International Airlines Flight 752 (Flight PS752)," Trudeau said in a statement.

Families of victims will partake in rallies from Vancouver to St. John's to mark the third anniversary of the down flight.
