Catholic Central Dealing With A Tragic Loss

An Incredible Future Cut Short

What was meant to be a fun High School outing ended up tragic after Catholic Central lost one of their own.

Elisabeth Reurink 17 was killed in the slopes of Blue Mountain in Collingwood on Thursday after crashing in to a tree.

Even when someone does everything right things can still go wrong. Elisabeth had prior skiing instruction,was skiing with a teacher and wearing a helmet. It's really a sad story and hard on a great bunch of kids.

Councillors have been taking to the Students and Friends helping them deal with this devastating event.

Elisabeth was described as a wonderful person with an incredible future ahead of her.
The Flag at Catholic Central was lowered to half-mast and photos,flowers and letters were set up in the chapel along with crumpled tissues and empty Kleenex boxes.
