British Columbia Premier David Eby announces that Tumbler Ridge Secondary School will be torn down and rebuilt after the February mass shooting at the site. Eby says students cannot return to the school where the attack occurred. The province’s plans include immediate steps while a permanent replacement is prepared. CBC reports the government will build larger, more modular classrooms in the coming weeks to support instruction during the demolition and construction period. CBC also says the longer-term plans for a high school replacement are underway. The Guardian adds that the decision follows meetings involving the school board and survivors, as well as families and community members. Multiple outlets report that the February shooting killed nine people and left dozens injured, making it one of Canada’s deadliest such incidents. The province does not describe specific designs for the permanent rebuild beyond indicating that a new facility is being planned.
