“I thank the Brockville Police Service and first responders who responded with care and professionalism in the face of what can only be described as unimaginable tragedy for the family and for our community. I want to recognize Leeds and Grenville Interval House and Shelter Movers for their vital work in supporting victims and survivors of intimate partner violence.
“Together, our community honours Wanda, Mackayla, Nikita, and I ask everyone to join us in honouring them, as we stand in solidarity with all victims of intimate partner violence.”
