Meadow Lake to host vigil in solidarity with Humboldt
Residents in Meadow Lake will gather tonight to show their support for the community of Humboldt and those affected by the tragic bus collision involving the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team.
A candlelight vigil will be held at 7 p.m. at the local arena.
A total of 15 people were killed and 14 others injured on Friday, April 6 around 5 p.m. after a bus collided with a semi-trailer on Highway 35, approximately 30 kilometres north of Tisdale near the junction of Highway 335. The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League team was on its way to a playoff game in Nipawin against the Hawks.
The news hit close to home for Meadow Lake Mayor Gary Vidal who used to coach hockey.
