In Solidarity with the Filipino Community

We are deeply saddened by the tragic incident that occurred on Saturday evening at the Lapu Lapu Day festival in Vancouver, where a vehicle drove into a crowd, resulting in the loss of 11 lives and injuring many others. Our hearts go out to the victims, their families, and the entire Filipino Canadian community during this time of mourning.​

In the face of such sorrow, it’s crucial that we come together to support one another. Prime Minister Mark Carney has expressed his condolences and solidarity with the community. You can view and share his message here.

While our focus is rightfully on healing and supporting each other, it is also a moment to remember that our voices matter. Through our votes, we can choose leaders who value safety, community, and compassion — the very values that hold us together, especially in times like this.
