Trudeau promises change for northern communities
One week after the fatal shootings at Ducharme Elementary School in La Loche, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau personally announced there will be changes.
Trudeau arrived in the northern community of La Loche early Friday afternoon. He immediately went into meetings at the school with government and town officials to discuss the plan moving forward.
The meetings were closed to the media. While waiting for the media advisory I had an opportunity to interview Marlin Janvier, a resident of La Loche and father to a young, twelve year old girl.
“It’s surreal,” Marlin Janvier, a La Loche resident and father of a twelve-year-old girl, said. “I can’t really, I can’t really grasp the fact of what happened. And today, like still, it’s hard to believe. Even though it’s true, it just feels like a dream.”
