Planning for Cst. Shaelyn Yang’s funeral is now underway. A statement from the family is expected in the days to come, however, the need to provide the family time and space is important as they go through the grieving process and prepare for the funeral.

The details for the funeral at this time are as follows:

The RCMP is grateful for the significant outpouring of public support and condolences. We encourage members of the public to send an electronic message to the family of Cst. Yang to: RCMP.Condolences-Condoleances.GRC@rcmp-grc.gc.ca
