Letter and guidance for families re: Saturday’s tragedy at Lapu Lapu Day celebration

 Dear Families,

Over the weekend, thousands of people from the Filipino community - from across Metro Vancouver - gathered in Vancouver to celebrate the Lapu-Lapu Day Festival. Late Saturday night, Vancouver Police confirmed the tragic and heartbreaking news that eleven people were killed and dozens more injured at the event.

Please see the attached letter and guidance from the Surrey School District.  Should your child need further support, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Sincerely,

Mr. K. Hignell

Principal
