Commission recommends risk assessments for all public events in B.C. after Lapu Lapu Day attack

July 9, 2025

An independent commission tasked with improving safety at public events in B.C. after a deadly vehicle attack at a Filipino street festival has recommended that the province mandate risk assessments for all such gatherings, clarify jurisdictional roles and improve training and resourcing through a centralized hub.

The province convened the Commission of Inquiry into Community Events Safety in May after the April 26 vehicle attack. Eleven people died and dozens more were injured when an SUV barrelled through the busy Lapu Lapu Day block party on the city’s eastside, casting fear and uncertainty on to the summer festival season ahead.
