Two geographical features have been named in honour of two people killed in the January 2016 shootings in La Loche.
Teacher Adam Wood and teacher’s aide Marie Janvier died while helping students and colleagues during the shootings at Dene High School.
Janvier Point is located on Saleski Lake, just north of La Loche. Adam Wood Memorial Landing is along a creek, just east of the village.
The GeoMemorial place name nominations received community and government support.
The nominations were brought forward following consultation with the Village of La Loche and the Clearwater River Dene Nation.
