Candlelight Vigil Postponed For Braiden Jacob

Thunder Bay is going to remember Braiden Jacob later this week at Chapple’s Park.

The body of the 17-year-old Webequie youth was found in the Chapples Park area on Sunday.

He had been reported missing by police last week.

A candlelight vigil for Braiden had been scheduled for tonight but at the request of the family, it will now be held at a later time.

Bear Clan Patrol is hoping to have a new date for the vigil later this week.

Meanwhile, a fundraiser for the community of Webequie and the Jacob family has been launched.

  • Originally from southern Ontario, Jason found his way here and fell in love with the community and music scene of Thunder Bay over twenty years ago. In between various stints on radio, television and writing, Jason is a dad, a partner and (some would consider) a zoo keeper (seriously, he has a LOT of pets).
