A western Manitoba community is grappling with how to honour 15 seniors killed in a fiery bus crash last week.
Dauphin city council held an in-camera meeting Monday to discuss how it should respond to the collective grief and whether there should be a public memorial or vigil.
A minibus was carrying the group of seniors from Dauphin and the surrounding area to a casino Thursday when it went into the path of an oncoming semi-trailer truck near the town of Carberry. Having to arrange for so many funerals all at once is not common for the funeral home in the city of about 8,000 people, said owner Joe Coffey.
