This is the unceded territory of the K'ómoks First Nation, the traditional keepers of our land. Before we begin today, I want to acknowledge the tragic tragic events in Tumbler Ridge.

On behalf of council and the people of Courtenay, I want to extend our deepest condolences to everyone affected. Our hearts are with the Tumbler Ridge community during this incredibly difficult time. Moments like this remind us how connected we are as communities. We hold another a little closer. We check on friends and neighbors. And we remember that kindness matters. Flags at uh city facilities have been lowered to half-mast in remembrance. And I would ask that we take a moment of silence now to honor the lives lost and all those affected. Thank you, everybody.
