Killed in the 2017 London Bridge attack. 30-year-old Canadian charity worker and her fiancé had been living in Amsterdam for 6 months, and were in London for the weekend.
Our colleague, Andrew Behan, advises that Christine Alison Archibald was born on 22 July 1986 in Trail, British Columbia, Canada. The Find a Grave website states that she was from Castlegar, British Columbia, which is about 18 miles from Trail.
Her obituary in The Nelson Daily newspaper dated 17 June 2017 states that 'Chrissy was predeceased by her grandfather, Gerry Archibald but is survived by her fiancé, Tyler Ferguson; her parents, Barbara and Gregory; her sisters, Kathryn (Sean) and Caroline (Ty); her Nana, Donna; grandparents, Robert and Lorraine; and aunts, uncles and cousins.
Chrissy participated in the Russian Bilingual Program and the Late French Immersion Program while in school. After two years at Selkirk College she moved to Vancouver and graduated with a diploma in International Business Management. She worked for several years in Vancouver before following her heart and enrolling in the Social Work program at Mount Royal University. Her practicum at Alpha House led to work in their shelter responding to issues of addictions and homelessness.
Recently she listened to her heart again, moving to Europe to be with the love of her life, Tyler. Living in the Netherlands allowed them to make short trips all over Europe where they loved to visit museums, art galleries and restaurants. She was the happiest she had ever been.
Her family and friends will miss her big heart, good nature, girly ways, and quiet courage and determination. Chrissy loved running, cycling, movies, books, makeup, lazy Sundays, musicals, cats and Benny the dog. She valued all of her friends and enjoyed quiet nights and good conversations'.
She is shown as 'Christine Archibald' on the London Bridge 2017 attack memorial panel in Cathedral Square, Montague Close, London, SE1.
