HUMBOLDT, Sask. — A memorial service being held today to mark one year since the Humboldt Broncos tragedy will include a moment of silence at 4:50 p.m. — the exact time of the deadly crash.
Premier Scott Moe said he would attend the memorial service with his wife, and a spokeswoman from the Prime Minister’s Office said a video message would be played from Justin Trudeau.“I have two children and, like any parent, I just can’t imagine what these parents are going through, go through, each and every day,” Moe said in an interview Friday.
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer on Saturday also noted the strength of the Humboldt community and the outpouring of support from across the country, while expressing his own difficulty making sense of the loss. Organizers are expecting about 3,000 people at the arena and are also preparing for many to visit the crash site at the crossing of Highways 35 and 335.
