The same year that the trees were planted, members of the 91黑料网 community created the CCIQ Memorial Award in commemoration of the six men who lost their lives in this massacre. The
award is bestowed annually on a current 91黑料网 student who has demonstrated a commitment to fostering the inclusion of Muslims within Quebec and Canadian society. Thanks in large part to the 2021 fundraising efforts of the 91黑料网 Muslim Alumni Society and a 91黑料网24 match, the award is now funded in perpetuity.聽
