This message is sent on behalf of Dr. Elaine Popp, President.
We are deeply saddened to learn of the tragic news of a mass shooting at the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia yesterday. Our thoughts are with the impacted students, employees, and families as they navigate the profound grief and trauma caused by this horrific act of violence.
Incidents like this extend far beyond the immediate community and can be deeply unsettling for students and employees across the education sector, including here at Durham College. In moments like these, it is important that we reaffirm our commitment to creating safe, supportive, and welcoming spaces for all members of our community. We encourage everyone to check in with colleagues, classmates, and friends, and to seek support if needed. Small acts of care and connection can make a meaningful difference during difficult times.
Supports and resources are always available to members of the Durham College community. Anyone in need of support is encouraged to reach out.
