Mental health crisis has become 'public safety crisis,' Vancouver mayor says at Lapu-Lapu Day update
Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim, speaking Wednesday at a briefing about the deadly Lapu-Lapu Day festival tragedy, said Vancouver Coastal Health had confirmed the accused in the case was 'under the care of a mental health care team and on extended leave.' Sim, who offered no specifics about the accused, again called on upper levels of government to do more around mental health.
