$189,000 raised with $150,000 goal in Go Fund me.
The TR PAC has already blown past their $150,00 fundraising goal.
According to the page, the parents on the The Tumbler Ridge Parent Advisory Committee (PAC), in collaboration with local TR organizations, “have established this official GoFundMe to raise funds for the families who have been directly affected by this event. These funds will provide essential assistance such as covering unexpected expenses, supporting daily needs, and helping with any ongoing recovery efforts.
“Our community has always stood strong in times of adversity, and this is an opportunity for us to extend a helping hand to those who need it most. Whether you are a local resident or someone touched by the spirit of Tumbler Ridge, your contribution—no matter how big or small—will make a meaningful difference.”
This comes as rumours of fake fundraising pages have started to spread.

According to the TR PAC, the funds will be used “to cover unexpected expenses, supporting daily needs, help with any ongoing recovery efforts, pay for funeral costs, pay for mental health supports and move.”
