As we continue to grieve the pain and loss caused by violence in Tumbler Ridge, we are reminded that tragedy should never be used to justify hate.
We condemn attempts to target trans and gender‑diverse people, and we will not let fear divide our communities.

Coincidentally, I'm in day 2 of a course in suicide intervention. I registered for this course 4 weeks ago, because I needed to be able to provide 'suicide first aid', just like I'm able to do conventional first aid.
It's a choice.
