On behalf of Council and the residents of the Town of Peace River, I extend our deepest condolences to the families and colleagues of those who lost their lives in the tragic event at CFB Wainright on Saturday, October 17. We were deeply saddened to learn of this incident, and our thoughts and prayers for healing are with the injured and everyone affected by this tragedy.

The Town of Peace River will lower its flags in solidarity with the brave men and women who serve in our Canadian Armed Forces, and the many first responders and municipal staff who responded with urgency and compassion to this unprecedented tragedy. Our bridge will also be lit up in red in remembrance of the four members who lost their lives.
In the coming days we will continue to hold in our hearts the CFB members and the many families who have been affected.

Mayor Shelly Shannon
