It has been four years since unthinkable tragedy hit our province.

April 18 and 19, 2020, a gunman driving a replica RCMP vehicle shot and killed 22 people in Portapique, making it the deadliest Mass shooting in Canadian history.

Premier Tim Houston is asking for a moment of silence at 12 p.m. Thursday and Friday, with flags at the legislature and other provincial buildings at half mast on this sombre anniversary.

Houston says it’s a time to remember those lives lost and honour the survivors and all those who have been impacted.

A public inquiry released a 3,000 page final report just over a year ago, on the shooting, with 130 recommendations on how to prevent a similar horrific event.
