Support for the Filipino community

To the Filipino Community in Vancouver, to our Filipino learners, families and team members, and to all those affected by the tragic events of this past weekend.

Our hearts are broken alongside yours. We are grieving with you after the devastating attack that has brought so much pain to your vibrant and loving community and to this region.

We see your sorrow and we honour your strength. We stand with you in giving strength for those still recovering from physical injuries and in giving strength and space to those who are in mourning and who will need time and support to work toward healing. Please know you are not alone — we are here, holding you in our thoughts and standing beside you in solidarity and care.

We offer our deepest sympathy and unwavering support.
