We are deeply saddened to learn of the fatal shooting at a secondary school in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia. As a faith community, we offer our prayers to the students and families of this community and all those who have been impacted by this devastating loss. We share our grief and sadness with them.

We recognize the emotional impact this news may have on staff, students, and families. Wellington Catholic DSB has a variety of resources and supports available to our school communities including designated Social Workers and Mental Health Clinicians who are accessible to each of our schools.

If you feel your child needs additional support, please contact your school directly. More information about our mental health resources can be found on our website.
