A gathering to stand in solidarity with Humboldt, Sask. is planned for Prospera Place’s parking lot on Thursday afternoon.

On Thursday at 4:15 p.m., the public is being invited to gather for a minute of silence and a group photograph in the west parking lot.

Inspired by the picture of the three hospitalized Bronco team members, the photo will be taken with people’s hands linked and raised.

It will be sent to the Broncos team and the city of Humboldt.
