School portables arriving in preparation for classes to resume in Tumbler Ridge, B.C.

Fourteen temporary classrooms are being set up to support about 160 students, with trauma counseling provided after the mass shooting that killed eight people.

  • On Monday, the first temporary unit arrived at Tumbler Ridge Elementary School grounds as site control shifted after RCMP completed its examination.
  • Last week, a mass shooting killed five students aged 12 to 13 and a 39-year-old education assistant, prompting Premier David Eby to pledge no students would be forced to return.
  • Tumbler Ridge Secondary School enrolls around 160 students, and the B.C. government says counsellors and trauma-support staff will support students and staff during the move and after classes resume.
  • Officials have not yet decided the future of the secondary-school site; the province says units will stay 'until community input, expert advice and future plans can be confirmed.'
  • The province expects several days to set up the temporary classrooms at Tumbler Ridge Elementary School, with weather and other factors affecting the timeline, while counselling resources remain available.
