TORONTO—Family members and friends of those killed in a van attack in north Toronto a year ago each placed a rose in a vase as the names of their loved ones were read aloud during a ceremony marking the anniversary of the incident.

The ceremony, one of several events today honouring those who died or were injured on April 23, 2018, was set to begin at 1:30 p.m. to coincide with the time of attack. However, it was delayed by roughly an hour as inclement weather forced organizers to relocate indoors.
