Saskatchewan promising safer highway intersections after Broncos bus crash
REGINA — The Saskatchewan government is promising to make highway intersections safer following the deadly bus crash involving the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team.
The government made the pledge Wednesday in the throne speech that opened a new session of the legislature. Plans for the fall sitting include bolstering commercial driver training and bringing in a strategy to reduce collisions at highway crossings.
Premier Scott Moe said the training predates the Broncos crash in April, but has been a focus ever since.
“We will be looking to move forward with a new course, a new training standards and parameters in the very near future,” Moe said.
