Tragedy at Garderie Ste-Rose in Laval: Mayor’s Statement
Like many of you, I was shocked to hear the news of the bus that crashed into Garderie Ste-Rose in Laval this Wednesday, February 8. As I write these lines, it appears that this tragedy has claimed the lives of two young children and several others are injured.
The loss of a child is a heartbreaking tragedy. As a mother, as a citizen, I am heartbroken. I would like to express my sympathies and solidarity with the victims’ families in this extremely difficult time. I can only imagine the immense pain and grief they must be feeling.
On behalf of the City of Westmount, I offer my deepest condolences to those affected by this tragic event. Our thoughts and our prayers are with you.
Christina M. Smith
