City of North Battleford recognizes Humboldt Broncos bus crash victims
The City of North Battleford has lowered the flags outside City Hall to half-mast for 15 days to recognize the 15 people who died in the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team bus crash last Friday.
A semi tractor-trailer collided with the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team’s bus near Tisdale April 6, leaving 15 dead and 14 more injured.
Appearing close to tears during council Monday night, North Battleford Mayor Ryan Bater said “the hearts of the nation have been in Humboldt” since Friday.
“This is the most tragic event to happen to a sporting organization in the history of North America and the response on a global scale has been extraordinary,” he said.
