Tonight in Tumbler Ridge, I witnessed a community holding each other close. In the midst of unimaginable grief, you opened your hearts and came together in love and remembrance.
Please know this. We are here with you. We will continue to walk alongside you for as long as you need us. ❤️
Thank you to the countless British Columbians and Canadians who have united behind the people of Tumbler Ridge. We remain focused on doing everything possible to support the school community and impacted families during this unimaginably difficult time. 3/3

As Canadians we know it's unacceptable to use the horrible actions of one person to attack an entire group. We're committed to keeping schools safe and welcoming environments for all students.
Thank you to BC Teachers for this important statement. 2/3
This week we witnessed a truly horrific school shooting in Tumbler Ridge. And at a time when British Columbians are uniting in support of the community, some people have been exploiting this tragedy to push a political agenda against trans kids.
That's shameful and wrong. 🧵
Tumbler Ridge, we continue grieving with you. 🤍
Supports are available for students, families, educators and community members during this incredibly difficult time.

The BCSTA Board of Directors kicked off the new year with a productive meeting with Minister of Education and Child Care @lisabeare.bsky.social to discuss updates and emerging issues in the K-12 and #schooltrustee sector.
Thank you Minister for the ongoing support of BC's public education system.
The expanded Henry Hudson Elementary will have 65 NEW 0-5 #ChildCareSpaces and 30 NEW #SchoolAgeCare seats.

Please be aware there are a number of school and street closures all across the lower mainland & Vancouver Island this morning. Don’t forget to check your local school website for updates before heading out to school today.
Follow BC Hydro directions for any downed power lines. Please stay safe.
Working families should not be paying extra for a reasonable day of child care.
Our government is ending unfair fees and setting a clear standard families can rely on 💛 while levelling the playing field across the sector ✅ ✅
