Saskatoon educators are coming together to mourn the loss of the two teachers in La Loche.
Teacher Kelli White said they wanted to support all the victims’ families and the community so they decided to host a vigil outside the Saskatchewan Teachers Federation building on Arlington Avenue Sunday at 8 p.m.
“To hear of a fellow colleague being shot down doing the things they love, working with kids, it hits so close to home being in our own province,” White said. “It’s just a way for us to deal with the tragedy as well.”
White said she was devastated by news of the shooting and thoughts of the scared students and parents.
“Communities are strong and they’re going to come together and get through this, but it takes a lot of support to get through something like this,” she said.
White said despite the tragedy, and despite any challenges a school may face, people should not forget the good that happens in schools as well.
Those who wish to attend the vigil are encouraged to bring blankets and candles.
Park Funeral Chapel is also offering Saskatoon residents a chance to send their thoughts to La Loche. All this week, residents can visit the chapel and sign a book.
