Heartbreaking to read these reflections for Tumbler Ridge local newsman Trent Ernst. All strength to him as the town he reports in and on daily enters the global spotlight. You can support his hyperlocal journalism (which continues to be so needed and so lacking) here: tumblerridgelines.com/support/

Tumber Ridge is not just idyllic but resilient.
It has seen mines open and close and reopen. It has embraced wind energy, made unprecedented dinosaur discoveries, hosts epic adventures and reinvented itself through tourism.
Thinking of everyone there as the town faces the unimaginable days ahead.
