In a statement, a spokesperson for the Legislative Assembly of B.C. says after people gathered on the steps on Friday, they left candles and other offerings of support.

“Following the departure of those individuals, security officers extinguished the candles and collected the mementos. Compassion and sensitivity should have been exercised with the memorial items remaining in place,” the statement reads.
