Boulder’s annual Day of Remembrance gathering will be held on March 22 at the Museum of Boulder in memory of the ten people who lost their lives in the Table Mesa mass shooting on March 22, 2021. The free event is presented by the city, the District Attorney’s Office, the Museum of Boulder, the Boulder Strong Resource Center (BSRC), and Clinica Family Health and Wellness, and will run from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Held on the anniversary of the tragedy, the event is part of Boulder’s official Day of Remembrance, declared on April 6, 2021, to honor the victims.
In previous years, the Annual Day of Remembrance gathering included remarks from city officials and community leaders, moments of silence and personal reflections from those impacted by the tragedy, musical performances, and more.
Staff members from BSRC — a program established in the wake of the shooting — will be in attendance at the event. The center provides counseling, wellness programs, and other resources to survivors, first responders, and community members who are dealing with trauma as a result of the shooting.
Recently, BSRC announced that it will be closing its doors permanently on April 25, after four years of service supporting those impacted by the 2021 Table Mesa King Soopers shooting. While daily operations will end, BSRC said that remembrance events will continue, and individuals who rely on the organization’s support will be transitioned to ongoing care through Clinica Family Health and Wellness and other organizations.
“We mourn every life lost and strive to support our community in the aftermath of this tragedy,” the City of Boulder said. “Our collective commitment to remember that day, the victims of that day’s tragic events, and to remain supportive of their families, our neighbors and each other illustrates the true strength of our community.”
The city said that a permanent memorial will take years of discussion with the city and community to install.
