The school in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., where students were killed in a mass shooting in February will be torn down and rebuilt on a new site.
Premier David Eby said Thursday that the decision by the local school board came after it consulted survivors, victims’ relatives and the broader community about the “right path” for Tumbler Ridge Secondary School students.
“The direction of the community is clear, they wanted to go with a new school on a new site,” Eby told a news conference at the legislature in Victoria.
America: Thoughts and prayers; too soon to address the issue.
Canada: bulldoze the site in shame and sadness.
Kind of incredible how the actions of a single deranged person has changed an entire town. No one in Tumbler Ridge is unaffected and I doubt anyone there will ever forget what happened in that school.
