OTTAWA \u2014 Prime Minister Mark Carney is returning to B.C. today less than a week after he attended a vigil honouring the victims of a mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C.<\/p>\n
While in B.C., the prime minister will attend a Liberal Party fundraiser at a private residence in Vancouver, with tickets costing $1,775. <\/p>\n
Carney\u2019s itinerary says he will be in Richmond, B.C., to celebrate Lunar New Year with community members and will later tour an affordable housing project.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister\u2019s Office says he is not expected to make any new announcements while in B.C.<\/p>\n
Carney travelled to Tumbler Ridge last week with other party leaders for a vigil days after 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar killed eight people before killing herself; victims included five students and a teacher\u2019s aide at the local high school, as well as her mother and half-brother.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister\u2019s Office says Carney is not planning to return to Tumbler Ridge during this week\u2019s visit. <\/p>\n
