At Sunshine Coast Schools, we are deeply saddened to learn of the tragic events that unfolded in Tumbler Ridge.
We are holding in our hearts the Tumbler Ridge community and all those affected by this heartbreaking tragedy. Our school counsellors, school-based staff, and district staff are available and ready to offer care and support to our learning community during this difficult time.
In alignment with provincial direction, flags will be lowered to half-mast in memory of the victims and to acknowledge the impact of this loss.
