"She loved her family, friends, and going to school, her family said in a statement. She was a talented artist and had dreams of going to art school in the big city of Toronto. Rest in paradise, sweet girl, our family will never be the same without you."
"I went home not knowing where my daughter was until a high school kid came here and told us her story about trying to save my daughter's life, he said."
"Seeing you leaving the house with that beautiful smile while going to Tumbler Ridge high school was so refreshing I saw a bright future, a leader, an engineer, also a scientist in you."
"Everything feels so surreal. The tears just keep flowing."
Six children and an assistant teacher were killed by a shooter at Tumbler Ridge high school, marking the country's deadliest mass shooting in years. Mark Carney will attend a vigil in Tumbler Ridge and invited leaders from all political parties to join him. Families identified victims and remembered them as talented, resilient, and full of promise, including 12-year-old Kylie Smith who dreamed of art school and 13-year-old Ezekiel Schofield. Parents recounted hours of searching, frantic reunions at a local recreation centre, and profound grief upon learning of their children’s deaths. The community is mourning and gathering to grieve together.
