They add their team is here to help and they have youth workers on staff if there are any youth struggling with the incidents.

He says he’s praying for the families, friends, and all those affected by this heartbreaking event and he’s thanking the first responders who responded under very difficult circumstances.
As the investigation continues, Barrett is asking that residents follow official updates and respect the privacy of those impacted.
Steve Clark, MPP for Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, is asking for residents to support each other and hold those impacted in our hearts while respecting their privacy during this incredibly difficult time.
