We write with deep sorrow following the incident in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia on February 10, 2026. We recognize the grief and concern felt by staff, students, and families across our province.

Let us pray for the souls of those who lost their lives, for healing for the injured, and for consolation for their families and friends. Schools are requested to lower flags to half-mast for the next seven days.

Support is available for anyone affected by trauma. The Hope for Wellness Helpline provides 24-hour crisis support across Canada at 1-855-242-3310 or through online chat.

May the peace of Christ strengthen all of our communities in the days ahead.

Our Lady of Sorrows pray for us.
