Over 100 people turned out on Thursday evening to honour the memory of 9-year-old Chantel Crump, a student at the Five Island Primary school whose tragic death last month left a community in mourning.

Family members, friends, and concerned residents gathered for a candlelight vigil held at the Keithley Sheppard Recreational Park. The event was both a celebration of Chantel’s young life and a show of solidarity with her grieving family.

The emotional evening began with a walk through the neighbourhood, as participants held candles and wore shirts bearing Chantel’s image, singing and dancing through the streets with candles in hand.
