The city of Humboldt and the Humboldt Broncos Memorial Committee have announced tribute projects that will honour the families and victims of the 2018 bus crash tragedy.
The vision involves two aspects: a proposed tribute centre next to the Elgar Petersen Arena in Humboldt where the Broncos play their home games, and a permanent memorial at the site of the bus crash. A concept of the tribute centre revealed on Monday shows it would house an exhibit gallery, ice surface and training centre. There is also an option to include a therapy centre in the plans.
Plans for a $25 million legacy centre were unveiled in Humboldt.

The Humboldt Broncos Memorial Committee has officially launched its campaign leading toward the construction of both a legacy centre on the Humboldt Uniplex site and a permanent memorial on Highway 35 at Armley Road. The announcement came via a press conference held on the eve of the third anniversary of the Humboldt Broncos tragedy.
The Committee is made up of delegates from the families impacted by the crash, City of Humboldt Representatives, and community volunteers. Their deliberations led them to the point of establishing a giving campaign to drive resources toward a multi-million dollar complex that would serve as a legacy and reflection centre in honour of the 2017-2018 Broncos.
