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.
Sixteen people were killed and 13 were injured after the Saskatchewan hockey team's bus collided with a semi driven by a novice trucker who had blown the stop sign at a rural intersection.
Premier Scott Moe says he will attend with his wife, and a spokeswoman from the Prime Minister's Office says a video message will be played from Justin Trudeau. 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.
