York Region honours lives lost to senseless shooting in the City of Vaughan

York Regional Council and The Regional Municipality of York express condolences and sympathies for the victims of a senseless shooting in the City of Vaughan on Sunday, December 18, 2022. 

Regional Council also offers our support to the residents of Vaughan and the family, friends and loved ones of those who tragically lost their lives in this act of violence. 

York Region is committed to supporting the health, safety and well-being of more than 1.2 million residents who call our Region home. I extend appreciation to the women and men of York Regional Police and York Region Paramedic Services who responded to this horrific incident and who continue to work every day to ensure our communities remain strong, caring and safe.

Events such as these are shocking and often hit harder during the holiday season. Yet they also serve as a grim reminder our communities are not immune to violence and we all must do our part to lead with kindness and understanding.

On behalf of Regional Council and our residents, I extend our deepest condolences to all those affected. 

Wayne Emmerson
York Region Chairman and CEO
