Tumbler Ridge Secondary School Begins Destruction Phase as B.C. Prepares Rebuild

Crews started removing the exterior of Tumbler Ridge Secondary School on Monday as School District 59 moves toward demolition in the wake of a mass shooting earlier this year. For weeks, workers have emptied the building’s contents using covered trucks in the lead-up to the structure’s removal.

The district confirmed the exterior teardown is underway, marking the formal start of the destruction process that will precede any rebuilding efforts. Details on timelines for the full demolition or the subsequent rebuild were not provided in the available information.
