HALIFAX --
A survivor from the Humboldt Broncos bus crash recently spoke to students in Nova Scotia about the importance of mental health.
It was April 6, 2018 when 16 members of the Humboldt Broncos hockey team died after their bus collided with a semi-trailer truck near Armley, Saskatchewan. The bus was carrying the team to a semifinal game they were supposed to play the evening of the crash.
Tyler Smith was a member of the Humboldt Broncos. He says his life has been a rollercoaster since that life-changing evening.
"I probably didn't take care of my mental health until about half a year after the accident. I was definitely in a state of suffering in silence," said Tyler.
