VANCOUVER — Prime Minister Mark Carney says the sorrow of the deadly attack at Vancouver’s Lapu Lapu Day festival a year ago today has been shared by the entire country. <\/p>\n
Carney says in a statement released on the anniversary of the attack that killed 11 people and injured many others that it was a “senseless act of violence” that “left a profound void in the hearts of families, loved ones, and Filipino communities across Canada.”\n <\/p>\n
The Prime Minister says it’s a “solemn day” to remember the victims of the vehicle attack, who have shown “strength, solidarity and compassion” when faced with “unimaginable loss and grief.”\n <\/p>\n
B.C. Premier David Eby says the attack was an “unspeakable and unprecedented tragedy” that remains as incomprehensible a year later as it did on the day of the attack.\n <\/p>\n
Eby says the “senseless and vicious attack” left 11 people dead, dozens injured and many others traumatized for the rest of their lives.\n <\/p>\n
He says the anniversary is a time to honour and mourn the victims and to “stand in solidarity with the Filipino community and all whose lives have been forever changed by this tragedy.”\n <\/p>\n
