Campus:
It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of Darr Mckay, a student in our Mining Readiness program. Darr passed away this weekend in Sibley Hall. We will be lowering our flags to half-mast on December 19 to grieve his loss and honour his memory. We respect the privacy of those involved and send our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of the student.
To effectively assist all members of our school community, we want to remind our students, faculty and staff of the crisis support we offer on campus. We have a Crisis Response Navigator available by calling Security, as well as counsellors on site. There are also Student Success supports available through each department.
