Though approximately 850 kilometres separate Oakville and Boston, many local residents were at the centre of Monday's deadly bombing attack of the Boston Marathon. Forty-two Oakville runners were registered as participants in the world's oldest annual marathon, while some of their family members and friends were among the half a million spectators who lined the Boston streets to watch the race. According to Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada, no Canadians were killed or injured by the explosions that killed three -- including an eight-year-old boy -- and hurt more than one hundred others.
