The mood remains sombre in Dauphin, Man., as area residents learn more details of the highway crash that killed 15 people and injured 10.
Mayor David Bosiak says people are sad and the effect on the city and surrounding area will be multi-generational.
He adds residents appreciate the support and condolences that have come in from across Canada, including from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The provincial health authority says 10 patients remain in hospital. Six are in critical care.
A moment of silence was held ahead of the Canadian Football League game Friday night between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Bosiak says he expects a decision will be announced Monday on whether a formal vigil or other public event will be held.
A support centre for families of those involved in the crash will continue to run over the weekend at the community’s curling rink.
RCMP are still investigating the fiery crash Thursday between a transport truck and a minibus that was carrying seniors from the Dauphin area to a casino near Carberry, Man., about two hours away.
The truck was travelling east on the Trans-Canada Highway when the southbound minibus crossed at an intersection, RCMP said Friday.
Investigators have not yet spoken with the driver of the bus, who remains in hospital.
