Mayor Ryan Bater provided his condolences at a North Battleford city council meeting Monday following four sudden deaths that took place in the community last Thursday.
One individual was found deceased on 101st Street, while a woman and two children died in a house fire on 99th Street that afternoon.
In his remarks at the start of the council meeting Bater said the following:
“Before I call the meeting to order I just want to begin by acknowledging the tragic events of last week – our community experienced four sudden deaths in a single day.
“We are a small community that means the connections that we have with each other tend to be quite strong and I know that this has impacted a lot of friends and families of those who passed. And I just want to acknowledge it’s a difficult time for those who are grieving and I sincerely hope for any assistance or support that those individuals need in their grief. We do have resources in this community and I hope that they are able to access if they need it.”
