At the vigil for Tumbler Ridge victims, all party leaders attended, putting partisan politics aside.

Prime Minister Mark Carney led federal, provincial and local leaders in offering support and praising the resilience and grace of Tumbler Ridge residents at a vigil in memory of the victims of Tuesday's mass shooting in the B.C. community.

Carney was joined by Gov. Gen. Mary Simon, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet and NDP interim Leader Don Davies, among others.

The vigil started with attendees singing O Canada, followed by Tumbler Ridge Mayor Darryl Krakowka asking for a moment of silence to honour the victims.

"None of us walks through this alone," Krakowka said during his opening speech.

"This evening is about remembrance, it's about reflection, it's about love."
