Crews are removing the building in stages after the deadly shooting, and governments have pledged $200 million for a new school and health centre upgrades.
- On Monday, crews began tearing down the exterior of Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in northern British Columbia, the site of a deadly mass shooting earlier this year.

- Premier David Eby announced the federal and provincial governments committed $200 million toward a new school; students currently attend classes in temporary portable classrooms.
- School District 59 Superintendent Christy Fennell wrote the staged teardown will continue through the fall to minimize disruption, while former student Stu Bell said he was "feeling a massive amount of relief."
- After removing the structure, crews will restore the site to grass through the fall, and School District 59 will consult with students and residents on conceptual designs for a new secondary school.
