The Tugwell family, along with all the families of the students and crew aboard the Concordia, were notified last night that the Concordia had sent out a distress signal, and we were later notified that everyone aboard the ship had been rescued off the coast of Brazil, after spending several hours in life rafts. Kate Knight, the Head of School at West Island College, ensured everyone was kept up to date with as much information as was available. The CBC article confirms that the Concordia sunk off the coast (way, way off), but that all crew and students (and Dad!) were safely transferred to merchant vessels.
More information will be posted here when we have it. Thank you for all your kind wishes and positive thoughts.
