​​“We are deeply saddened by the tragic incident that occurred last night at the Lapu Lapu Day Festival in Vancouver. On behalf of the City of Brampton, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of the victims, and to the entire Filipino-Canadian community during this difficult time. 

In Brampton, the Filipino community is a vital and cherished part of our city — one that contributes so much to our cultural fabric. This tragedy is deeply felt within our own community, and we stand in solidarity with all those affected. 

Flags at Brampton City Hall will be flown at half-mast in honour of the lives lost.” ​
