We are devastated and saddened by the tragic events of April 26 at the Lapu Lapu Day festival in Vancouver. This is a senseless tragedy.
On behalf of the City, I offer our support and deepest sympathy to all victims and their families, and to the entire Filipino community.
This is a time of mourning for those who have been killed and of concern for the many others who were injured. It is also a time when our sense of safety and security has been deeply shaken.
We must all pull together and support our friends and neighbours who have been impacted by these events.
