VANCOUVER \u2014 Prime Minister Mark Carney says the sorrow of the deadly attack at Vancouver\u2019s 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 \u201csenseless act of violence\u201d that \u201cleft a profound void in the hearts of families, loved ones, and Filipino communities across Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister says it\u2019s a \u201csolemn day\u201d to remember the victims of the vehicle attack, who have shown \u201cstrength, solidarity and compassion\u201d when faced with \u201cunimaginable loss and grief.\u201d<\/p>\n
B.C. Premier David Eby says the attack was an \u201cunspeakable and unprecedented tragedy\u201d that remains as incomprehensible a year later as it did on the day of the attack.<\/p>\n
Eby says the \u201csenseless and vicious attack\u201d left 11 people dead, dozens injured and many others traumatized for the rest of their lives.<\/p>\n
He says the anniversary is a time to honour and mourn the victims and to \u201cstand in solidarity with the Filipino community and all whose lives have been forever changed by this tragedy.\u201d<\/p>\n
