Vancouver, BC – New Democrat leader Adrian Dix has issued the following statement in response to the Lakeland Mills explosion:
“The thoughts and prayers of the New Democrat caucus are with the workers and their families, and the people of Prince George. The fire has taken one life, and we extend our condolences to the family who has suffered the greatest of losses today. We hope that workers who are in critical condition stabilize and recover fully.
“Our caucus also thanks the emergency teams on the ground – BC Ambulance, firefighter, doctors and staff at the University Hospital of Northern British Columbia – for their tremendous response since last night. The critical role our first responders play during times of catastrophe – from restoring safety, and preventing further injury and fatality – can never be overstated, and we are very grateful that they are always there for our communities.
“The workers and Prince George community can count on our caucus for on-going support in the coming days and weeks as they determine the next steps in recovering from this tragedy.”
