In closing, Eby said gatherings will continue in Vancouver
“In this moment, today, it’s hard to imagine another celebration. We’re grieving, people are in shock, people are in hospital, families are still being notified, people are trying to reach loved ones they haven’t been in contact with.
“But I know that this attack will not stop us from gathering and celebrating the culture, celebrating the people of Vancouver and British Columbia,” he said, standing next to Elmore with a Canada-Phillippines flag pin on his lapel.
“We’ll work with the city, we’ll work with police to make sure events have the systems in place to keep people safe while they’re celebrating. And we will, as a community, come out of this stronger.”
