Our hearts are heavy today as we reflect on yesterday’s tragic events in Tumbler Ridge.
Violence doesn’t just impact one place — its shockwaves travel far. Here in the Interior, our communities are deeply connected, and when one of us suffers, we all feel the weight.
It’s normal if this news has brought up grief, fear, anger, or uncertainty. Whatever you’re feeling right now is valid.
We also know some people may be especially affected — those with lived experience of trauma or violence, people working in emergency response or helping roles, families with school‑aged children, and anyone who’s feeling unsettled or overwhelmed. Please remember: you are not alone.
If you’re struggling, support is available:
📞 Interior Crisis Line Network: 1‑888‑353‑2273
📞 BC Mental Health Support Line: 310‑6789 (no area code)
📞 9‑8‑8 by call or text
In times like these, choosing connection matters.
Let’s lean on one another — with compassion, patience, and care. When we listen deeply and hold space for each other’s pain, we strengthen the bonds that make our communities resilient.
You are seen. You are valued. And we walk through this together. 🤍
