Our hearts are with the Tumbler Ridge community
Posted On February 11, 2026Our hearts are with the Tumbler Ridge community as you navigate the pain and shock of this tragedy. We are thinking of all the families who have lost someone they love, of those who are injured, and of everyone in the community trying to make sense of this.
In a community of fewer than 3,000 people, we know that health care teams aren't just treating patients right now - they're caring for people they know and love. To all the responders in Tumbler Ridge: what you are having to hold right now is immense. Please know that we are here to support you.
BC’s mental health support line 310-6789, available 24/7 for support. Young people can access support via the Foundry app or text CONNECT to 686868.
All physicians can be confidentially connected with a clinical counsellor via the Physician Health Program which is available anytime at 1-800-663-6729.
