Today we revisit the van attack of April 23, 2018. It's been three years since a van mounted the sidewalk near Yonge and Finch in Toronto's north end, killing 10 and injuring 16. All it took was 7 minutes to terrorize a community and traumatize a city. Now we reflect on how the attack impacted the people who lived through it.

We'll hear from first-hand witnesses, family members of victims, and people who didn't even think twice to jump right in the middle of everything and help those injured.
