Carney, Eby lament 'senseless' violence of Vancouver festival attack one year later

On Apr 26, Prime Minister Mark Carney and Premier David Eby marked the one-year anniversary of the vehicle-ramming attack at Vancouver's Lapu Lapu Day festival, which claimed 11 lives and left lasting trauma across the community.
Describing the attack as an "unspeakable and unprecedented tragedy," Eby noted it remains as incomprehensible today as it was on the day of the violence, which left dozens injured and many traumatized for life.
The Prime Minister called it a "solemn day" to remember victims who demonstrated "strength, solidarity and compassion" amid "unimaginable loss and grief," honoring their resilience in the aftermath.
Across Canada, leaders pledged to "stand in solidarity with the Filipino community and all whose lives have been forever changed by this tragedy," marking the anniversary as a time to honour those lost.
Carney stated the "senseless act of violence" has "left a profound void in the hearts of families, loved ones, and Filipino communities across Canada," underscoring the enduring impact one year after the attack.
