OTTAWA — Laila Goodridge says her office is collecting notes of remembrance, well wishes and condolences to send to Tumbler Ridge Secondary School following last week’s mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge.
Police have said 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar killed two relatives at a home before fatally shooting five students and a teacher at the school on Feb. 10. He later died from a self-inflicted injury. Twenty-seven others were injured.
The attack is the deadliest mass shooting in Canada since the 2020 Nova Scotia killings and the deadliest school shooting since 1989. It is also the highest-casualty mass shooting in Canadian history, with 36 total casualties, including the gunman.
Goodridge says residents who wish to send cards can mail them postage free to her Ottawa office at:
