Statement from Chief of Police James Ramer on today's verdict in the Yonge Street Tragedy trial

Today’s verdict is a step forward in what has been a long and painful case that impacted our entire city.

Of course, with an appeal period, this may not be the end. However, the finding of guilt on all charges may allow our community to try to turn a page to focus on healing together.

The effects of that day three years ago has stayed with the families and friends of those who were murdered or injured, and those who were left behind to mourn. It has stayed with those who witnessed the horrific scene and it continues to stay with every one of the first responders who attended.

I’d like to thank those members of the public who came forward to help the police investigation. We interviewed hundreds of witnesses and reviewed many images and videos sent to us to help this case.

I also want to thank all members of our Toronto Police who attended and investigated, our 911 communications operators who were flooded with emergency calls, as well as our other first responder partners at Toronto Fire and Toronto Paramedic Services.

We employed the expertise of our investigators from Homicide, Traffic Services and Forensic Identification Services. We worked collaboratively with the Office of the Chief Coroner, Victim Services Toronto, various consular services, and the Ministry of the Attorney General.

The Toronto Police Service will always remember the victims and their families as we move forward together, as a city, further away from this senseless tragedy.

The Toronto Police Service would like to make the public aware of an incident involving the accidental consumption of cannabis edibles.

On Tuesday, March 2, 2021, at approximately 9:30 p.m., officers from 43 Division were called by Toronto Paramedic Services to attend a hospital.

It is reported that:

- two children were in an apartment with their mother

- one child found a package of cannabis edibles, known as “Buzzy Peaches”

- the child ate one of the edibles

- the mother immediately called for an ambulance when she discovered what had happened

The child was treated and released from hospital.

Initial investigation has revealed the product was purchased legally and no criminal charges are expected at this time.

The Toronto Police Service would like to take this opportunity to remind parents and caregivers about the dangers posed to children by cannabis and cannabis-related products.

While these products may be legal, they must be treated like any other prescription or over-the-counter drug and be stored in a locked area and in child-resistant packaging. Since many of these products have similar packaging to non-cannabis products, it is also strongly recommended that children cannot see or have access to the place in which they are stored.

If you think a child consumed any form of cannabis, get medical help right away. Call the Ontario Poison Centre at 1-800-268-9017 or call 911 immediately.
