Victor Thunderchild, a well-known and well-respected Prince Albert high school student counselor died Saturday morning after being hospitalized with COVID-19. He was with the school for nearly 30 years. Victor Thunderchild was in hospital with COVID-19 since April 2.
“We are heartbroken with the news of Victor’s passing. Our condolences go out to his family, friends and every heart that he touched,” Carlton Principal Jeff Court said. “Victor was a staple in our school/community and will be missed immensely.”
Safe Schools Saskatchewan Advocacy believed Thunderchild’s death could have been prevented with more measures.
“We have members of our admin team connected to Prince Albert so we were aware. We are also in shock and vacillate between sadness and rage. His death was preventable. We will continue to fight for the safety of school staff and students,” Safe Schools Saskatchewan said in a statement.
