"She had lots of dreams, but it tragically ended up with something like this," Kois Chowdhury with the Bangladesh Canada Association of Calgary said.
"We want to honour her today."
Prayers were held at the Akram Jomaa Islamic Centre in the northeast.
"This is really a very sad moment for our whole community: the Muslim community, the Bangladeshi community, the University of Calgary," said Zubayer Siddiquee, the centre's director.
"This is unbearable."
