Sunday's Toronto Marathon began with a moment of silence for the victims of last month's van attack just steps away from where the tragedy happened, but organizers say the overall message is that life must go on. "We will will be doing a moment of silence just prior to the start to remember the victims of the attack." Police are seen near a damaged van in Toronto after a van mounted a sidewalk crashing into a number of pedestrians, killing ten people, on Monday, April 23, 2018. Jay Glassman, the race director of the Toronto Marathon, says a moment of silence will be observed for the victims of the April 23 van attack. Alan Brooke, the race director of the Canada Running Series, says security protocols changed in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings in 2013.
