Mayor and Council Extend Condolences

Sooke Mayor and Council offer their condolences to grieving families

Mayor Maja Tait, on behalf of Council, wish to extend sincere condolences to the families directly affected by the tragic motor vehicle incident on Sooke Road this past Friday night.

“Words cannot adequately express the grief and loss our community feels at this terrible time”, said Mayor Tait. “It will take time to get over the shock of losing someone so young with so much promise and my heart goes out to Carter’s parents and siblings”, added Mayor Tait.

Mayor and Council want to assure our community we are doing everything we can to address safety issues on Highway 14 and are in direct contact with the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. “We expect a preliminary report from the Ministry this October and will be sharing the results with the public shortly after staff receive it”, said Teresa Sullivan, Chief Administrative Officer.
