Schools to lower flags to honour victims in Tumbler Ridge
February 12, 2026
Schools across PEI will lower flags to half-mast in honour of the victims of the school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Colombia.
“Our hearts go out to the victims, those injured, their families, and indeed the entire community after this horribly tragic event. As a way to honour them, I’ve asked all Island schools to lower flags, where able, and show our support.”
— Minister of Education and Early Years Robin Croucher
Flags will remain lowered until February 17.
