A day after the horrific mass shooting event surrounding a remote B.C. town’s high school, the community has come together to honour the victims.

A vigil is being held at a central square in Tumbler Ridge on Wednesday evening, with many people attending and holding lights.

Images from the vigil show how people gathering while bracing the sub-zero temperatures outside.

The deadly shooting Tuesday afternoon claimed the lives of nine people, including the suspect, and injured roughly 25.

Police say the victims include five students of the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, three girls and two boys, and a 39-year-old woman, who was identified as an educator at the school.

The RCMP has also identified the suspect’s mother and 11-year-old step-brother as deceased victims.

Many more are still recovering from their injuries, including another 12-year-old girl, whose family members say is “fighting for her life.”

Several local, provincial, and federal leaders are expected to arrive in Tumbler Ridge Wednesday evening.

B.C. Premier David Eby’s attendance at the vigil has not yet been confirmed. He is expected to address the media from the town around 7 p.m.

British Columbians will have a chance to honour the dead on Thursday, as the government has declared it a day of mourning.

The NDP government also announced that the B.C. Legislature will not meet on Thursday as originally planned.

The start of the spring session will be postponed, and MLAs will only briefly gather in Victoria for a moment of silence at 12 p.m.

The Speech from the Throne will not be delivered as planned on Thursday, either.

House Leader Mike Farnworth has not said if the tabling of the annual budget — scheduled for next week — will also be rescheduled.
