Oh Me Nerves Photography thank you for sharing these important resources for a community in mourning. Our thoughts are with all of the students, staff, families and the entire community who are impacted by this tragic event.
This is absolutely devastating and hard to comprehend.
My heart goes out to the families and friends of those affected, and to the students, staff, and entire Lambton College community.
To experience something like this so close to home is deeply unsettling.
We have to come together right now, support one another, and stand with those impacted. Our community is stronger than this, but only if we choose compassion, unity, and care for one another.
Now is NOT the time for politics. It is the time to support and respect those affected and offer empathy and compassion.
If you, or someone you know, is struggling in the wake of this incident, please know that support is available. You are not alone, and there are people and services ready to help you through this.
