Danforth Families For Safe Communities

We are a group of families affected by the Danforth shooting which occurred on July 22, 2018 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Today we remember Reese and Julianna and all the victims affected 8 years ago. What happened to our families and community is still present in our thoughts. We continue to advocate for better outcomes where gun violence is concerned. Recent events remind us there is more to do.

Thank you for the kind wishes on this challenging day. We also recall, with gratitude, the support we received from the TPS and other first responders.

Eight years later, we continue to remember the victims, survivors, families and community members affected by the Danforth shooting. Their stories and memories remain with us.

"Shooting was the cause of death for 294 victims of intimate partner homicide between 2009 and 2024. This represents one in five (22%) intimate partner homicides over this period, an average of 18 deaths per year."

The process to collect firearms is well underway in various areas across Canada and will continue through early fall 2026. Individuals who declared their prohibited firearms will be notified once collection begins in their area. https://t.co/mKd04DejCC

"Most guns used in Canadian crimes were not smuggled in from abroad: internal reports" https://t.co/MvTl3C9l0r

The Public Safety Minister chose to act before any injunction request was filed. This further delays the removal of assault-style firearms. This is an unacceptable delay to a public safety measure Canadians expected.

OpEd: The @rcmpgrcpolice has duty to disclose what guns were used in #TumblerRidge mass shooting: keeping this information from the public prevents informed debate about Canada’s gun control laws and their enforcement https://t.co/KLMit0pgc1 @TheSpec @DanforthFSC

Glad to see this correction was made by @BBCWorld.

[PolySeSouvient / PolyRemembers @Polysesouvient]

Due to the #GunLobby's & #GunTrolls' inability to understand the concept of implied meaning or, more likely, its bad-faith insistence on overly literal misreading that totally ignores context (in order to mislead & fearmonger regular gun owners), @BBCWorld has specified that its initial passage referred to #AssaultWeapons, not ALL rifles, as any reasonable person who follows this file would know.

[PolySeSouvient / PolyRemembers @Polysesouvient]

Andre Reed, president of the Hanna Rod and Gun Club, said he was surprised to see the number of Albertans who declared. "I was shocked at that. I didn't think they'd get that many, to be honest." https://t.co/HkzbCUkZ06 via @joeldryden
