The CN Tower was transformed to show the colours of the French flag.
The Toronto sign also went red, white and blue. "Even the darkest night will end. And the sun will rise," wrote the person who took this photo of it.
The Vancouver airport control tower had French colours, too.

Prime Minister Trudeau and other Canadian political leaders have sent the message that "Canada stands with France."
I am shocked and saddened that so many people have been killed and injured in violent attacks in #Paris. Canada stands with France.
My heart goes out to the victims of these attacks. We stand with the people of #Paris.
All of us are struggle to make sense of the horrific violence today in Paris. For now, we pray and commit ourselves to show goodness to all.
Rallies are also being held in Canadian cities today. This is the Vancouver event.
One woman posted on the event's page to express solidarity with Muslims, and to say they are not at fault. "The enemy is hate, not Islam. Don't let your political/religious views shroud your compassion. We all need each other tonight."
Toronto's vigil was led by Mayor John Tory. "Our hearts and our prayers go out to the victims," he said.
The vigil in Montreal drew a large crowd.
