Summary
The Fun Philippines Ottawa Food and Music Street Festival, originally scheduled for later this month on Wellington Street, has been postponed following a tragic car-ramming attack at a Filipino heritage festival in Vancouver that resulted in 11 fatalities and numerous injuries. In response to the attack, a vigil was held in Ottawa where mourners gathered to pay their respects, leaving flowers and lighting candles. Organizers of the Ottawa festival made the decision to prioritize community safety and solidarity in light of the recent violence.
