There’s a reason why the tragedy of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash has struck such a nerve with people across Canada. It’s because every single one of us can relate to traveling to and from some type of activity via bus. Whether it was for school, for sports or some other extracurricular activity; we’ve all been there, or known someone close to us that has. And that’s why we stand with Humboldt…That’s why Neepawa stands with Humboldt.
