Schools in Williams Lake will be showing their support for the victims of Friday’s tragic bus crash involving the Humboldt Broncos.
Both Lake City Secondary School’s Columneetza and Williams Lake campuses are encouraging students and staff to take part in a planned national jersey day, scheduled for Thursday, April 12, to show their support.
Students and staff will also be wearing green on Monday.
The campaign, which aims to help young people channel their grief, was organized by a group of Langley hockey moms and, by Saturday, had morphed into a campaign that had garnered nationwide support to crash victims and their families.
People are being asked to social media their photos in jerseys, and her group is coming up with a hashtag to add to social media posts.
