City of Yellowknife to take-over Visitors Centre role

If it wasn’t for the howling, biting wind, you could hear a pin drop in Tumbler Ridge on Wednesday.

Premier David Eby arrived in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., where nine people died in a mass shooting Tuesday.

Leaders across the N.W.T. are responding to yesterday’s school shooting. The tragedy has left nine people dead, including the alleged 18 year old shooter. Two youth remain in critical condition and communities across B.C., the N.W.T. and the country mourn with the people of Tumbler Ridge.

I think all of it needs to come into play and it all is so important to figure out what is happening, figure out the story and understand what we can do for them, you know. So anything is helpful at this point,” said Norris.

Yellowknifers are gathering to discuss the closure of the Capitol Theatre, and what steps can be taken to preserve the historic institution.
