Western Manitoba Community Mayor says the outpouring of support is appreciated

DAUPHIN, Man.—The Mood in Dauphin, Man.

Mayor David Bosiak says people are sad and the effect on the city and the surrounding area will last for generations.

He adds that residents appreciate the support and condolences that have poured in from across Canada as the mourning continues.

Those statements include Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who said Canadians support the victims of the crash.

A moment of silence was held Friday night prior to the Canadian Football League game between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Bosiak says he expects a decision to be made on Monday on whether to hold a formal vigil or other public event.

Over the weekend, a support center for families of those involved in the crash will continue to operate at the community curling rink.

RCMP is still investigating the fiery crash Thursday between a transport truck and a minivan transporting seniors from the Dauphin area to a casino near Carberry, Manitoba, about two hours away.

The truck was traveling east on the Trans-Canada Highway when the minibus crossed south at an intersection, RCMP said Friday.

Investigators have not yet spoken to the driver of the bus, who remains in hospital with nine other survivors.
