Our thoughts are with Abbotsford Senior Secondary School, British Columbia, Canada in light of the tragic news that student Latisha Reimer lost her life and Emily Isaac is seriously injured following a knife attack on the school premises.

We offer our sincere condolences to 15-year-old Latisha’s family for their terrible loss, and we hope for Emily’s fast recovery.

The students who launched into action at the scene showed remarkable courage and speed. We commend you for your actions to help save the life of your school friends. Staff and students have the support and counselling from trauma specialists.

We offer our utmost understanding and flexibility at this time and will support the school in any way we can.

We wish peace and strength for everyone at the school and in their local community in a time of such trauma.
