Moose Jaw City Council took a moment of silence Monday night to honour those victims of the terrible Toronto van attack earlier in the day.

"Our hearts and prayers and thoughts go out to the City of Toronto." said Mayor Fraser Tolmie. "We stand firm with you and this is another tragedy that has fallen upon our nation."

Ten people were killed in what appears to be a deliberate attack on pedestrians that has injured many more. A 25 year old was arrested after a brief stand off with police.

The area of the alleged attack is expected to be closed for days as investigators do their work. Officials say surveillance cameras and witness interviews are being gathered.
