A candlelight vigil is being organized in 91原创 for the victims of the vehicle attack at Vancouver's Lapu-Lapu Festival, with the gathering to take place in Douglas Park Spirit Square this weekend.

A Facebook post by 91原创 City's Rosemary Wallace said the vigil will take place on Sunday, May 4, from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

The Spirit Square is located at 20550 Douglas Cres.

When a man drove an SUV into crowds at the Filipino street festival on Saturday, April 26, he killed 11 people and injured dozens more. Those killed ranged in age from five to 65.

A 30-year-old man, Kai-ji Adam Lo, was arrested at the scene and faces eight charges of second-degree murder, with Vancouver Police indicating more charges may be laid.

Many local councils, churches, and community groups have held vigils or observed moments of silence in the wake of the tragedy. The provincial government declared that Friday, May 2, is a day of mourning and remembrance, and a book of condolences is being signed both physically, in the B.C. Legislature building,
