Demolition Underway at Tumbler Ridge School, Site of B.C. Mass Shooting
Crews are removing the building in stages after the deadly shooting, and governments have pledged $200 million for a new school and health centre upgrades.
- On Monday, crews began tearing down the exterior of Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in northern British Columbia, the site of a deadly mass shooting earlier this year.
- Following the February 10 mass shooting by 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar, eight people died, including five children and an educational assistant at the school.
- Premier David Eby announced the federal and provincial governments committed $200 million toward a new school; students currently attend classes in temporary portable classrooms.
- School District 59 Superintendent Christy Fennell wrote the staged teardown will continue through the fall to minimize disruption, while former student Stu Bell said he was "feeling a massive amount of relief."
- After removing the structure, crews will restore the site to grass through the fall, and School District 59 will consult with students and residents on conceptual designs for a new secondary school.
