Authorities are still looking into whether any Canadians were impacted by the suspected terrorist attack at the end of an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena, that killed 19 people and injured 59 others, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement on Monday night.
“With our allies and partners, we will continue to counter such senseless acts and to fight terrorism in its many forms,” he said.
“We will do all that we can to assist British authorities in bringing those responsible to justice.”
Any Canadians in the U.K. who need consular assistance are advised to contact the High Commission of Canada at 0207 004 6000.

Alternately, they can send an email to sos@international.gc.ca.
