Calgary to Honor Ania Kaminski at Vigil

Calgary is set to honor the memory of Ania Kaminski this Friday at a vigil, following the devastating news of her untimely death at the age of 33. Ania's lifeless body was discovered in her home located in the 300 block of Tuscany Ridge Heights N.W. on December 29.

What adds a layer of horror to this tragedy is that on the same night, Ania's father, Stanislaw Wardzala, was also found dead in another part of the city, the 0 to 100 block of Kincora Grove N.W. Authorities are currently investigating the situation and believe that Ania's husband, 38-year-old Benedict Kaminski, may be linked to both homicides. Benedict himself was later found dead in Calgary's northwest, just hours after police issued an emergency alert to warn residents about a 'dangerous person with a gun' in the area.

Ania's Impact as a Teacher

Ania was a dedicated elementary school teacher with Rocky View Schools, passionately shaping the minds of young students. The organizer of the upcoming memorial vigil expressed that this gathering will be a heartfelt opportunity to celebrate Ania's beautiful life and to come together as a community in mourning.

Community Coming Together

Described as a 'beautiful soul,' Ania's tragic story has touched many, and friends, family, and community members are expected to attend. The hour-long vigil will take place in the 300 block of Tuscany Ridge Heights from 9 to 10 p.m., allowing attendees to pay tribute to a life cut short and to share memories of the joy she brought to those around her.

As the community mourns, questions remain, and many are left wondering: How could such a tragedy happen?

Stay tuned for more updates as this heartbreaking story unfolds, and let’s come together to support one another during this difficult time.
