A Moment of Silence
Our flags have been lowered to half mast, and we will be observing a moment of silence at noon on Tuesday and Wednesday to honour the lives lost – and those left behind – after the horrific shooting that took place in our province three years ago.
One of the victims, Kristen Beaton, was an NSGEU member and was on the job at the time she was senselessly murdered. She was pregnant when she was killed. She left behind a husband, young son, and countless others who loved her deeply. We remember.
