More details are coming to light about those who died after an SUV drove through a crowd at the Lapu-Lapu Day Filipino festival in Vancouver.

To recognize this significant Filipino community, in 2023, British Columbia officially recognized April 27 as Lapu Lapu Day, a day that gives opportunity “to learn more about the history of people in British Columbia of Filipino heritage and to celebrate their contributions to the vibrancy and prosperity of the province.”
