Big love to Filipino BC and the Lapu-Lapu Day Block Party. What an incredible event, and an absolutely horrific tragedy.

Our hearts are all broken for this senseless violence in the midst of such joy. I’ll keep sharing ways to support the community as they arise. 💔

Saddened at the tragedy at the Lapu Lapu day block party at Fraser St. What motivates a driver to do this? Thinking of all who have lost a loved one or are affected by this…
