Terror victim Christine Archibald remembered at memorial in Castlegar, B.C.
CASTLEGAR, B.C. — An organizer says hundreds turned out Sunday evening in Castlegar, B.C., for a memorial service honouring several young people from the West Kootenay community, including a local woman who was killed in a terror attack in London.
Deb McIntosh says Christine Archibald’s family attended the peace and healing vigil and the 30-year-old’s father spoke briefly.
McIntosh says she believes people walked away from the vigil “a little lighter in heart.”
Archibald was from Castlegar but trained as a social worker in Calgary and worked in homeless shelters there before travelling to Europe to be with her fiance.
