Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced $200 million in funding for a new health-care centre and secondary school in Tumbler Ridge, B.C.

The facility will replace Tumbler Ridge Secondary, which is being demolished after a mass shooting that devastated the small northeastern B.C. community earlier this year.

Carney said Thursday that the project will be funded equally by the province and the feds.

More to come.
