Toronto college holds memorial service for student killed in van attack

TORONTO — A Toronto college says a memorial service was held Thursday to honour a student who was one of 10 people killed in the van attack last week.

Seneca College says the memorial for Ji Hun Kim was held at its Newnham Campus in the north end of the city.

The college says Ji Hun — who was known to her classmates and professors as June — was often seen with a smile on her face, and will be remembered as “a force of positivity and happiness.”

Seneca says Ji Hun was a student at its English Language Institute and the program has set up a scholarship in her honour.

Another 16 people were injured in the April 23 attack.
