On June 23, 1985, suitcase bombs detonated on Air India Flight 182, travelling from Toronto to New Delhi via Montréal. The mid-air explosion over the Atlantic Ocean, off the southwest coast of Ireland, killed all 329 passengers and crew and led to the longest and most expensive criminal investigation in Canadian history.

In 2010, a public inquiry described the bombing as “the worst mass murder in Canadian history” and a “Canadian tragedy.” The Canadian government also issued a formal apology for institutional failures and the treatment of victims’ families.

Yet the Air India bombing and its aftermath remain underrepresented in Canadian history and global public memory.

This website provides accessible, educational, and research-based resources to foster deeper public understanding and engagement with this history. We invite scholars, educators, students, and the broader community to confront this history, honour those lost, and participate in the ongoing work of remembrance, justice, and historical accountability.

Our mission is not only to remember—but to ensure that this history is acknowledged, taught, and never forgotten.
