President Barnard’s message of sympathy and concern on Sri Lanka attacks

This past Sunday, on a day celebrated by Christians around the world, a brutal attack happened in Sri Lanka, striking many at their places of worship and hotels.

On behalf of the University of Manitoba community, I convey deepest sympathies to the families and friends of those killed.

Our thoughts are with the people of Sri Lanka and to those in our own community personally impacted by these horrific attacks.

• David Barnard, President and Vice-Chancellor
