Acknowledging the Events at Charles P. Allen High - Member Statement

Mr. Speaker, I arise to acknowledge the terrible event that took place at Charles P. Allen High School. In the aftermath of the violence, teachers, students, staff, and families at this school and in schools across the province are asking important questions about the conditions which led to this tragedy.

For years teachers, staff, and families have been clear: There is not enough support in our schools. Teachers and admin are stretched beyond belief. Students are falling through the cracks.

On behalf of our caucus, I want to send our love and strength to everyone affected, and to join our voice with those calling for a safer workplace, better student supports, and for nothing like this to happen ever again.
