Two schools in Chetwynd, British Columbia—Chetwynd Secondary and Windrem Elementary—were placed under a 'secure and hold' lockdown on February 17, 2026, due to safety concerns following a mass shooting one week earlier in Tumbler Ridge that killed eight people.
The precautionary measure, involving locked doors and classroom confinement, was lifted by 1:45 p.m. Chetwynd time after RCMP assisted school officials.
The incident has heightened regional anxiety and spurred community fundraising, with over $702,000 raised for victims’ families.
An investigation into the Tumbler Ridge shooting is under review.
