Meaford, ON - Today, we are lowering our flag to half-mast to recognize the tragic loss of three local youth from John Diefenbaker Senior School in Hanover. We are shocked, heartbroken, and extend our deepest condolences to the families, friends, classmates, staff, and everyone in the community who is mourning this profound loss. As well, our thoughts are with the fourth student, who was transported to the hospital. The impact of this tragedy is far reaching and extends across our community. During this time of grief, help is available. Please reach out for support.
