April 28th, 2025Basketball BC Statement

We are profoundly saddened by the tragic events that unfolded during Vancouver’s Lapu Lapu Day celebrations.

The loss of innocent lives is heartbreaking, and our deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and the Filipino community.

Basketball BC values the strength, resilience, and vibrant contributions of our Filipino community members, many of whom are an integral part of our basketball family.

We encourage everyone to come together in compassion, kindness, and unity — lifting those who are hurting and honouring the memories of those whose lives were tragically taken.
