On Jan. 22, 2016, a 17-year-old boy killed two teen brothers in a home before going to the school, where he killed a teacher and a teacher’s aide and wounded seven others.
Premier Scott Moe says his thoughts are with the survivors as well as the families and friends of those killed.
He says it’s a day to reflect on the healing and resilience that has taken place in La Loche over the past decade.
Saskatchewan’s Opposition NDP says in a statement that its members remember the lives lost and stand with those who continue to be affected.
