A
We
acknowledged
the
land
we
are
meeting
on
the
traditional
territory
and
many
nations,
including
the
Mississauga's
of
the
credit,
the
Anishinaabe,
the
Chippewa,
the
Hutt
no
show
me
in
the
wind
up
people
and
is
now
home
to
many
diverse
First,
Nations
Inuit
and
made
tea
peoples.
We
also
acknowledge
that
Toronto
is
covered
by
treaty
13,
with
the
Mississauga's
of
the
credit.
I
will
now
call
pond
merit
or
II
to
address
City
Council.
C
C
Our
entire
city
has
been
shocked
by
this
cowardly
act
of
violence,
as
I
said
earlier
this
morning
at
the
scene,
I'm
of
course
angry
as
we
all
are
that
someone
would
carry
out
such
an
attack,
which
really
amounts
to
an
attack
on
our
city
itself.
A
gun
violence
in
any
part
of
our
city
is
horrible
and
completely
unacceptable.
C
As
the
shots
rang
out
last
night,
our
police
officers,
our
firefighters
and
paramedics,
rushed
to
the
scene
and
just
as
we
saw
earlier
this
year,
we
are
all
once
again
immensely
proud
and
grateful
for
the
courage
and
for
the
professionalism
that
they
showed
and
I
want
to
express
our
collective
gratitude
to
all
first
responders,
who
came
as
quickly
as
possible
to
help
people.
In
the
wake
of
this
horrific
incident,
I'm
continuing
to
get
updates
from
Police
Chief
Mark
Saunders
about
the
ongoing
investigation.
C
I
could
see
for
myself
at
the
scene
where
I
was
joined
by
councillors,
Fraga,
Dacus
and
Fletcher,
that
every
possible
effort
was
being
made
by
our
very
capable
Police
Service,
so
as
to
determine
as
quickly
as
possible.
What
happened
and
why
I
have
total
confidence
in
the
ability
of
our
police
under
the
Chiefs
leadership,
to
determine
what
did
in
fact
happen
here.
I
want
to
publicly
thank
as
well
Premier
Doug,
Ford
and
Federal
Minister
Bill
Blair,
who
were
both
immediately
in
touch
to
offer
condolences
as
well
as
to
offer
any
assistance
that
Toronto
might
require.
C
In
times
of
such
horror,
it
is
good
to
know
that
Toronto
is
not
alone
and
Toronto
will
never
be
alone
and
more
important
of
all,
most
important
of
all
that
the
people
of
Toronto
will
never
be
alone,
while
our
city
will
always
be
resilient
in
the
face
of
such
attacks,
it
does
not
mean
such
a
terrible
act
committed
against
our
residents
is
any
less
painful.
This
is
an
attack
against
innocent
families
and
against
our
entire
city.
This
is
a
tragedy.
C
Another
tragedy
in
our
city
this
year,
I
promise
all
of
the
people
of
Toronto
but,
most
importantly,
those
directly
affected
by
this
tragedy
that
we
will
all
be
relentless
in
getting
answers
about
why
this
senseless
attack
happened.
I've
said
for
some
time
that
the
city
has
a
gun
problem
in
that
guns
are
far
too
readily
available
too
far
too
many
people,
it
is
something
I
spoke
about
very
directly
at
a
federal
government
conference
held
late
last
year
on
acts
of
violence.
As
I've
said
repeatedly,
this
is
an
international
problem
and
this
is
a
domestic
problem.
C
I
think
it
is
fitting
for
us
to
revisit
this
issue,
yes
to
protect
our
city,
but
also
out
of
respect
for
those
who
have
lost
their
lives
and
had
their
lives
dramatically
disrupted
by
this
senseless
violence.
In
the
meantime,
I
will
work
with
you
and
with
everybody
else,
all
of
the
other
governments,
our
Police
Service
and
the
community,
to
do
whatever
we
can
to
comfort
and
to
heal
our
city
and
to
assist
the
police
in
getting
the
answers.
C
A
D
D
D
The
Danford
there's
always
been
a
partner
of
my
home,
all
my
life
and
last
night
out
there
in
the
community,
with
both
Paula
and
the
mayor.
I
just
felt
so
devastating
and
words
don't
do
how
we're
all
feeling
at
any
justice
and
as
we
mourn
cherishing
and
caring
for
those
in
our
lives
may
help
with
the
pain
and
coming
together
as
a
community
in
this
difficult
time
is
so
important.
I
also
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
all
the
first
responders
and
the
medical
teams,
because
I
know
this
is
tough
on
them.
E
Speaker
I,
too,
want
to
extend
my
deepest
condolences
to
the
families
who
lost
loved
ones
last
night
and
to
those
who
were
wounded
and
in
the
hospital
and
to
everybody
that
was
traumatized
sitting
in
restaurants.
As
someone
marauded
along
the
Danforth
shooting
indiscriminately
into
restaurants
and
into
the
park
at
it,
was
terrifying,
terrifying
night
on
the
Danforth
one
that
won't
be
forgotten
for
a
long
time
and
I
know.
E
We
always
say
that
can't
happen
here
when
we
see
those
gunmen
in
the
state's
doing
the
same
thing,
and
it
has
happened
here
now
and
it's
happened
in
local
community,
but
one
that
is
very
strong,
caring
and
resilient
community.
That
is
the
dad
fourth
I
know
the
trauma
units
are
out
there
for
people
who
need
to
get
help
to
speak
about
it
and
deal
with
it
and
process
it
as
the
community
is
now
processing
it.
E
Even
today,
people
are
still
calling
to
find
out
where
their
children
are,
that
and
know
that
they're
safe,
it's
a
terrifying
thing
and
one
that
no
city
or
no
neighborhood
should
have
to
go
through
and
echo
the
mayor's
statement
about
guns.
This
was
not
gang-related
shooting,
but
it
was
a
gun,
related
shooting
and
this
council
many
times
has
taken
strong
positions
on
handguns
and
other
guns
in
the
city
of
Toronto
and
I.
Think
it's
time
to
step
up
again
and
I
want
to
assure
you
that
the
Danforth
is
a
strong
area.
E
F
F
F
Many
of
us
really
do
want
to
investigate
and
find
the
logic
and
the
reasoning,
and
the
other
part
to
this
equation
is
where
are
the
guns
and
who's
holding
them
and
where
are
they
stored
and
do
we
as
a
city
have
anything
to
say
or
do
about
that?
My
daughter
texted
me
this
morning
and
asked
me
whether
I
saw
the
news
and
whether
or
not
I'm
afraid
and
my
answer
to
her
was
yes,
but
don't
worry,
it's
still
a
safe
city
and
we'll
find
out
how
to
deal
with
it.
