Wednesday, April 6, 2022, marks the 4th anniversary of the 2017-18 Humboldt Broncos tragedy, resulting in the heartbreaking loss of 16 people and an everlasting traumatic effect on the 13 who survived, their families and our community. In commemoration, Mayor Behiel has proclaimed April 6th, 2022, as “2017-18 Humboldt Broncos Day” in the City of Humboldt. His Worship encourages all citizens to remember and honor those who were impacted by the tragedy of April 6th, 2018, and to observe a moment of silence this April 6th at 4:50 pm, the approximate time the tragedy occurred 4 years ago.
Thursday, April 7, 2022, has been proclaimed as “Green Shirt Day” in the City of Humboldt, in honor of and in recognition of the “Logan Boulet Effect”, a legacy initiated by Logan Boulet, one of the 2017-18 Humboldt Broncos players who succumbed to his injuries 4 years ago on April 7th, 2018. His selfless act of organ donation inspired over 100,000 Canadians to become organ donors in the days and weeks that followed. Mayor Behiel encourages all citizens to wear green this April 7th to raise awareness of the importance of organ donation and to “have the kitchen table talk” with their families.
