Tai Caverhill is being remembered as a hero following a tragic accident last week that took his life and left another student in hospital in critical condition while on a school field trip to Camp Barnard west of Sooke. Emergency personnel were called to the area of the Jack Brooks Hatchery at 3:26 p.m. Wednesday after receiving a report a 13-year-old boy was trapped under a fallen tree. He was unconscious and not breathing, officials said. Life-saving measures were performed on the teen by camp personnel and first responders, but the Lansdowne middle school student did not survive his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. A second boy who was hurt has been released from hospital. Caverhill was the first to spot the tree falling towards where he and his friends were walking, quickly alerting the group to run away. “Sadly, he saved his friend’s lives but couldn’t save his own,” reads a GoFundMe description set up by the Thai Kids Club of Victoria – where he was one of the first students – to help assist the family in their time of need. Caverhill would have started Grade 9 at Oak Bay secondary school in September. His last word’s to his mother before he left for the Year End Wilderness Camp were “take care of Lanna and Daddy for me,” according to the GoFundMe page. Continued on A12
