Grand Erie Condolences: Tumbler Ridge, BC

We are deeply saddened to learn of the tragic news in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia.

Our thoughts are with the staff, students, and families of Peace River South School District 59, and with members of our own Grand Erie community who may be experiencing grief, or uncertainty in the wake of this tragedy.

We recognize the emotional impact news like this can have on staff, students, and families. Such events can be upsetting and difficult to process. If you feel your child may need additional support, we encourage you to please reach out to your school.

Additional community supports and resources are also available:

Grand Erie’s priority remains the safety and well-being of students and staff. We are committed to maintaining safe, caring, and supportive learning environments for all.

With heartfelt condolences,
