T his is usually where we like to address the articles and advertisers that have been part of the issue, but in light of the recent tragedy involving the Humboldt Broncos hockey team we would like to send our thoughts and prayers out to the victims, their families and friends of this tragic accident who lost their lives and also send our wishes for a speedy recovery to those that survived. We would like to spotlight the amazing efforts of the first responders who helped the victims of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash in Saskatchewan on April 6 th and thank all those that have cared for and supported the team and their families during this time. I am always amazed when I see how something so tragic can bring people together. I would like to say how proud I am of the character of these young players, how positive they have remained and their undefeated attitude in the light of such adversity, when it would have been so easy to take the easy way out and look at the negative of what has happened. These young men have set the example for all Canadians, and the world for that matter, that we are a team, when we are winning and when we are losing and that we are stronger together. There has been an amazing outpour of support for the Humboldt Broncos hockey team from not only the hockey community and Canadians, but from people and businesses around the world. The Humboldt campaign which was created by Sylvie Kellington, a resident of Humboldt, Saskatchewan, on the night of the crash with an initial goal to raise $5,000 for the victims has received donations from almost 140,000 people from 80 different countries raising more than $15 million CAD. This campaign is believed to be the largest online fundraiser of its kind in Canadian history, and one of the largest in the world. Although the campaign has closed, the team has said that it will continue to accept donations through the Humboldt Strong Community Foundation, which will “support Humboldt Broncos players, employees, families and volunteers, as well as first responders and emergency services personnel, teams, athletes, related organizations and communities affected by the crash.”
We would like to take this time to remember those lost because of this tragic event:
