Billy Talent frontman Ben Kowalewicz told CP24 that the concert was his way of celebrating the victims of the mass shooting. "We want to let them know that we love them," he said.

A gunman opened fire on Danforth Avenue on the night of July 22, killing an 18-year-old woman and a 10-year-old girl, in addition to injuring 13 other people.
