Gabriel Garon's photos were taken at the funeral of the 7 children of the Barho family in Halifax.
The Barho are Syrian refugees who dreamed of a better life in Canada. A fire came to break this dream by killing the 7 children of the family and injuring the father very seriously.
In difficult circumstances, the photo brings the words that are often difficult to express.
This photo taken by Gabriel Garon and those of Lise Ouangari can be seen until September 29th.

It's a way, she says, to show what's going on across Canada and especially what images are expressing.
It's important to show the story behind the photos, stories that have upset communities.
