Like all Canadians, members of the Institute are shocked by the senseless deaths and horrific injuries that occurred yesterday afternoon in Toronto.  Our thoughts are with the victims and their families.

The tragedy took place in front of a major public service office building located at 4900 Yonge street.  We don’t know at this time if any of our members were hurt in the catastrophe, and the vicinity of the building is the site of an ongoing investigation by Toronto police.  As such, it is possible that access to the facility may be restricted today.  We will keep you informed of developments as information becomes available.

Debi Daviau
President
