B.C. Premier Eby says province will overhaul Mental Health Act after Lapu-Lapu Day festival attack

April 30, 2025
B.C. Premier David Eby says his government will overhaul the province’s Mental Health Act in response to the weekend killing of 11 people by an SUV that rammed through a crowded cultural festival in Vancouver.A man who had previously been detained under the act and was under supervision by a health team at the time of the Saturday attack has been charged with eight counts of second-degree murder. Police have said more counts are expected. Some 16 people remain in hospital, including a 22-year-old boy in serious condition.
