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.”

Article content

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.”

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.

Eby says the “senseless and vicious attack” left 11 people dead, dozens injured and many others traumatized for the rest of their lives.

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.”
