Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Saturday lauded the 'courage and professionalism' of first responders and the resilience of the community a year after the fatal bus crash of a junior hockey team.
FILE - In this Saturday, Nov. 24, 2018, file photo, Ryan Straschnitzki, left, and Jacob Wassermann, victims of the Humboldt, Saskatchewan bus crash in 2017, are introduced in the first period of an NHL hockey game, in Denver. Straschnitzki suffered a concussion, brain bleeding, an injured right shoulder blade and a collapsed right lung. He was paralyzed from the chest down and the injury is expected to be permanent.
A memorial service is to be held in the Humboldt arena to remember the 16 people killed and 13 injured. The Humboldt Broncos bus collided with a semi driven by a novice trucker who ran a stop sign at a rural intersection. Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer pointed to the outpouring of support from across the country, while expressing his own difficulty making sense of the loss.
"As a parent and a Saskatchewanian, I still find myself without adequate words to capture how this tragedy has been felt by our province, and our nation," he said in a statement. He added: "A year may have dulled the sharpness of the pain, but no passage of time can change the depth of our sorrow."
