Remembering the Victims of the Lapu-Lapu Filipino Festival Tragedy in Vancouver

As a union, we stand united in grief and in solidarity with the Filipino community during this difficult time

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we extend our sincerest condolences to the families, friends, and community members mourning the tragic loss of the 11 Filipino individuals who were attending the Lapu-Lapu Filipino Festival this past Saturday in Vancouver.

This heartbreaking event has left an immeasurable void in the lives of so many. These individuals were not only beloved members of their families and communities but also part of a broader network of people who cared for them deeply. Their contributions, presence, and spirit will not be forgotten.

As a union, we stand united in grief and in solidarity with the Filipino community during this difficult time. We recognize the profound sorrow that accompanies such a loss, and we share in mourning those who have passed.

Let us remember them with compassion, dignity, and respect. Our thoughts and prayers are with their loved ones, and we commit to offering support in any way we can in the days ahead.
