On behalf of the UBC School of Nursing, we extend our profound condolence to the families who are grieving the heartbreaking losses from the tragedy this weekend at the Lapu Lapu festival on April 26. We offer our hopes for the recovery of those who were injured.
To our students, especially those who were working on the night of the tragedy, and to all who may be struggling with these terrible events, we are concerned for you. Resources are available to support you, please reach out for assistance if you need it.
We stand in solidarity with the Filipino community at this time of profound sorrow. We mourn with you, and as nurses, we are committed to support your healing in the days ahead.
