Yellowknife Mayor writes letter to community of Humboldt

By Cameron Wilkinson

City of Yellowknife Mayor Mark Heyck has written a letter to the Humboldt Broncos following the recent tragedy in Saskatchewan.

In his letter, Mayor Heyck expressed his condolences to the team and the affected community. Heyck said that as Canadians, the Humboldt Broncos are all of our loss; adding that Yellowknife is broken from the news.

Mayor Heyck ended his letter of condolences by extending his hand out to the small Saskatchewan community, offering anything he can do to help.

The Saskatchewan junior  hockey team experienced a tragic accident last Friday when a tractor trailer collided with the team’s bus. Just today, a sixteenth victim was confirmed by the Health Authority. Dayna Brons was an athletic therapist for the hockey team.
