In recognition of the tragic bus crash which claimed the lives of 15 Humboldt Broncos players and staff on a Saskatchewan highway on Friday, the City of Salmon Arm is flying the flags in front of city hall at half mast.
The gesture by the city is one of several that people across the country are undertaking in solidarity with the stricken Junior A club from the small city located east of Saskatoon.
On Thursday, April 12, peopleare being encouraged to wear sports jerseys in support of the Broncos still fighting for their lives or recovering from injuries in hospital and also in memory of those who did not survive.
