April 7 proclaimed as Green Shirt Day; Adams Park Ice Centre to be re-named Logan Boulet Arena
LETHBRIDGE, AB – Nearly a year after his untimely death as a result of the Humboldt Broncos bus tragedy, Logan Boulet’s legacy continues to live on in Lethbridge.
A pair of resolutions were passed by City Council on Monday, April 1, that were both inspired by Boulet.
First, by an 8-1 margin with only Councillor Joe Mauro opposed, council approved a resolution to direct the Mayor’s Office, as a one-time exception, to proclaim April 7, 2019, as “Green Shirt Day” in the city.
City Council passed a resolution in 1999 stating the Mayor’s Office would discontinue the long-standing practice of issuing proclamations, and that was the basis for Mauro’s objection because he didn’t want it to set a precedent.
