Hundreds gathered in Dauphin, Man., Saturday to mark the one-year anniversary of a deadly crash that claimed the lives of 17 people.
The crash took place on the Trans-Canada Highway when a semi-trailer collided with a minibus. The bus was carrying seniors to a nearby casino.
To mark the sombre occasion, a memorial service took place at C.N. Park, where community members unveiled a monument dedicated to the victims.
“Today's a sad day for many of us here, but also a day to come together, to reflect, to support one another, and most of all, remember those friends, neighbours,” said mayor David Bosiak during the service.
“Hopefully as time passes, seeing this monument will bring some joy instead of the sorrow, and as we remember the good times,” he added.
Josephine Stokotelny, one of the surviving victims, said she’s thankful to be alive following the accident.
