Motorcycles deliver money for park that will honour slain Alberta toddler, dad

Less than a week after the deaths of two-year-old Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette and her father, the community of Blairmore, Alta., remains deep in mourning.

Hundreds of motorcycles rumbled along a southern Alberta highway to honour two-year-old Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette and her father.

Friday’s tearful vigil was held on the hill between the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and the Children’s Museum.

Blanchette was described by friends and family as a devoted single father who shared custody of Hailey with his former girlfriend, Cheyenne Dunbar, who lives in Edmonton.

The Missing Children Society of Canada began working with investigators on day one of Hailey’s disappearance, using social media to get the word out.

Calgarians hold candles and balloons at City Hall on Saturday evening in memory of Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette and Terry Blanchette who were murdered in Blairmore. Saretzky will appear in court on September 23rd.

Daynes said he’s still trying to come to terms with the news that Blanchette and little Hailey are gone.

“He was taking good care of her. There was always laughing and giggling going on over there”.

This week, Daynes was devastated to learn that Blanchette and Hailey had both been killed.

A gaggle sang a reworked model of the previous religious “Kumbaya” – “A woman is lacking, my Lord, Kumbaya… convey her again to us, Kumbaya”.

Roxanne Michalski, who helped organize the vigil, said the situation was simply unthinkable.

“It’s terrible to assume that anyone had the mindset to be so terrifying”, she stated. And to think a 22-year-old could be responsible for it, someone we knew, someone we passed daily on the street, changed a flat tire.

“That’s the factor that upsets me, to assume it’s somebody that you simply reached out a hand to assist out”.

Johnston, a senior instructor in the department of communication, media and film at the University of Calgary, is also concerned with how social media can disseminate unverified information so quickly and widely.

“My coronary heart is broke, can’t cease crying”, Cathy Hollahan posted to a Fb web page referred to as “Let’s Convey Hailey House Protected”.
