"Liam's life was cut short, but his story must bring change,"
"Liam was a bright, joyful and loving child who brought light and happiness into the lives of everyone who knew him."
"No parent should ever have to wonder if 'drop-off' is safe. No child should ever feel the fear that some children felt that day,"
"His loss has left an emptiness that can never be filled, but his memory will forever remain our greatest treasure."
The family of toddler Liam Riazati will hold a public memorial in Richmond Hill at 10 a.m. to remember his laughter, curiosity and role as the heart of the family. Family members recall his love of balloons, balls, flowers and teddy bears and describe him as bright, joyful and loving. The family calls for a transparent investigation into the circumstances of his death, stronger safety regulations at childcare centres, and public awareness to prevent similar tragedies. The daycare's location in a commercial plaza next to a parking lot and behind walls of glass is identified as insufficiently protective. A man in his 70s has been charged in relation to the incident and has been granted bail.
