The Vancouver Canucks have donated 1,000 tickets for this Sunday’s game to students at Abbotsford Senior Secondary, where students are grieving after a stabbing incident last week left one of their peers dead.
The tickets will go to students and their families, staff, and teachers at the school, according to a source with the team.
Students returned to class on Monday, just days after 13-year-old Letisha Reimer was killed when a random assailant entered the school with a knife. Another student, who cannot be named due to a publication ban, was also stabbed but survived.
