Maya Gebala, who was wounded in the shooting at the school, was flown to B.C. Children’s Hospital with critical injuries.
On Tuesday, the girl’s mother, Cia Edmonds, shared on social media that the family had been warned Maya "wouldn't make the night."
"I cannot reply to the mountain of messages we've recieved,” Edmonds wrote, saying they are grateful “for all the love and support.” "Our baby needs a miracle."
People across Canada have offered best wishes to Maya and her family, including Canadian hockey legend Hayley Wickenheiser.
On X, Wickenheiser asked the hockey community to support the "little hockey player from Tumbler Ridge."
