On behalf of SAISIA and the settlement sector community, we are heartbroken by the tragic shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia. We extend our deepest condolences to the families who have lost loved ones, to those who were injured, and to everyone in the community who is grieving. No family or community should have to endure the pain caused by gun violence. These acts leave deep and lasting wounds that reach far beyond those directly affected. We stand in solidarity with the people of Tumbler Ridge and reaffirm our commitment to fostering safe, peaceful, and inclusive communities where everyone can feel secure. Our thoughts are with you during this incredibly difficult time.
