Windsor is the first city in the world to erect a monument to the victims of Srebrenica genocide. Brian Masse, a member of the Canadian Parliament and a long-term sponsor of all Canadian cultural events to remember genocide in Srebrenica, was born in Windsor, Institute for The Research of Genocide Canada (IGC) announced.

Canada began officially recognizing the genocide in BiH after the Parliament adopted a Resolution in 2010 declaring July 11 as the Day of Remembrance for the victims of genocide.

The victims of the genocide in Srebrenica and BiH have not been forgotten in Canada. The Canadian government has continuously shown sensitivity and reverence for the victims of genocide in BiH in a special way. This is confirmed by two resolutions of the Canadian Parliament on the Srebrenica genocide, an exhibition on the Srebrenica genocide at the Canadian Museum of Human Rights, one of the world's most prestigious museum institutions, the study of genocide in BiH in Canadian schools, unveiling of a monument to the victims of the Srebrenica genocide in Windsor, the first such commemorative memorial in North America, distribution of the Srebrenica Flower, a symbol of genocide, to all members of the Canadian Parliament, a petition by the Canadian Parliament to criminalize the deniers of the Srebrenica genocide in Canada and to declare July 11 a Day of Remembrance for the victims of the Srebrenica genocide in the cities of Hamilton and Windsor.
