A moment of silence was held by council members, staff, and members of the public in the chamber to honour the victims and those affected.

The attack happened on April 26 at the Filipino cultural event in Vancouver, when an SUV drove into the crowd. Eleven people were killed. At least 24 others were injured. Seven remain in critical condition and three are in serious condition.

To honour the victims, the Okanagan Filipino Canadian Society will hold a vigil at Ben Lee Park on Tuesday (Apr. 29) at 6:30 p.m. 

The suspect, Kai-Ji Adam Lo, has been charged with eight counts of second-degree murder. Vancouver police say more charges are expected.

Also on Tuesday, Premier David Eby announced that a public inquiry will likely take place, but not until the criminal court proceedings are complete.
