We extend our deepest condolences to the families who have lost loved ones, to those who have been injured, to the students and staff of Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, and to the entire community affected.

As a hospitality organization with deep roots in British Columbia, we are holding the people of Tumbler Ridge and the Peace Region in our thoughts. We are also grateful to the first responders and community members supporting one another during this devastating time.

Over the Family Day long weekend, Bellstar donated $15,000 to the Tumbler Ridge Parent Advisory Committee (PAC). The funds will be distributed directly to families who have been affected, helping to cover unexpected expenses, support daily needs, and assist with ongoing recovery efforts.

For those who wish to provide additional support, donations can be made directly through:
