Prime Minister Mark Carney, federal party leaders, and local representatives offered condolences and support for the community of Tumbler Ridge during a Feb. 13 vigil in the wake of the deadly school shooting in the B.C. town.

“I, the leader of the Opposition, the leader of all the federal parties, wanted you to hear—not from Ottawa, not through a screen, but standing here together in your home—we wanted you to hear that Canadians are with you, that we will always be with you,” Carney said.
