The horrific shootings in Tumbler Ridge have shaken British Columbia and Canada. There are no words for the pain the community has gone through and the realization as it sets in over the coming days and weeks.
I extend my heartfelt condolences to the people of Tumbler Ridge at this most difficult time.
