On behalf of everyone at Interior Health, our hearts and thoughts are with the Tumbler Ridge community following yesterday's heartbreaking tragedy. We extend our deepest sympathies to the victims, their families and loved ones, first responders, health-care workers, and all those affected.
Events like this can bring up a range of emotions — sadness, fear, anger, or even a sense of helplessness. Please remember that these reactions are normal. In times of collective pain, tending to our own well being is not only important but necessary. We encourage anyone who is struggling to reach out for support, whether for yourself, a colleague, or someone in your life who may be hurting.
