York Region extends condolences to all impacted by Vaughan shooting

On behalf of York Regional Council and The Regional Municipality of York, I extend condolences to the victims of today’s fatal shooting in the City of Vaughan and offer support to all impacted by this terrible incident.

I also extend our deepest gratitude, thanks and support to York Region Paramedic Services, York Regional Police and all first responders providing critical support and care at the scene.

Emergency responders face challenging and often dangerous situations when providing life-saving assistance to those in need. York Region is united in our appreciation for the courageousness and selflessness of those who choose to protect us every day, and we remain grateful to the individuals who commit their lives to the safety and well-being of our communities.

During this difficult time, we mourn with the family and friends of the victims and extend our support to those who continue to recover.

We will keep the victims and the City of Vaughan in our thoughts.

Wayne Emmerson
York Region Chairman and CEO
