Council shows support

The Civic Square vigil at 6 o’clock this evening will commemorate those lost and injured in the disaster, which has claimed thousands and injured and displaced scores more.

Toowoomba Region Deputy Mayor Cr Geoff McDonald said Toowoomba would do all it could to support those caught up in the disaster and to assist loved ones from Túrkiye and Syria living in Toowoomba.

“The earthquake disaster in Túrkiye and Syria is on a massive scale and has become the world’s deadliest seismic event in more than a decade,” Cr McDonald said.

Key Toowoomba landmarks including City Hall, The Annex and Victoria Street Bridge will light up in special colours at the time of the vigil to further show Toowoomba’s support.
