A fundraiser is scheduled for this Saturday in Fort St John to support Tumbler Ridge after two shootings claimed the lives of eight victims and shook the community on Tuesday.
“All proceeds will go directly toward helping with immediate needs and ongoing support during this incredibly difficult time,” said the Fort St John RCMP, who will host the barbecue at their detachment on 100 Street across from City Hall.
The fundraiser is scheduled for this Saturday, Feb. 14, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is by donation. Cash and e-transfers will be accepted. Anyone looking to donate virtually should send money to ediv-fsj-scarlettrecclub@rcmp-grc.gc.ca – the suggested donation amount from the police is $100.
“The Fort St John RCMP wishes to share that our hearts are with the families affected by the recent Tumbler Ridge school shooting. During times like these, coming together as a community matters more than ever,” said Mounties.
“Let’s surround these families with strength, support, and love. Thank you for being the kind of community that shows up when it matters most.”
