The Lakehead Public School Board has confirmed the death of a four year old student who was injured in a horse and carriage accident at Fort William Historical Park. Dead is Willow Scott-Hannam. Director of Education Cathy Siemieniuk says her heart goes out to the family. Siemieniuk says they will have grief counsellors on site to talk to family members, staff and classmates of the deceased. The Coroner's Office, Ministry of Labour, Lakehead Public School Board and the Fort are all conducting internal investigations.
It was only last week that four year old Willow took part in a Habitat for Humanity ground breaking ceremony for its new homes on Mary Street. She was photographed placing her foot in the recently poured cement. The organization has posted a photo of Willow.
