August 20, 2015 · 0 Comments
Shelburne’s Chief Administrative Officer John Telfer says prior to the start of the August 10th Council meeting, the Mayor and Council, as well as senior staff had “a moment of silence in honour of the 12 yr old girl who left us way too early in life…” Telfer added, “The Town of Shelburne, as a community has rallied behind the family after such a tragedy. It is time for the community to heal, but never forget how important each day is with our families and our fellow community residents.”
Mayor Ken Bennington offers his “condolences to the family and friends of young Natasha.” He says, “This tragedy has sent a wave of shock through the community, and at times like these I believe it makes us all reflect on our lives and what we take for granted.
I am very proud of the community’s support extended to Natasha’s family during this most difficult time. I would like to thank our emergency services for their efforts taken throughout the emergency response. It is often during the darkest times that we find our strongest people.”
