Two years after the deadly bus crash near Carberry, Man., the City of Dauphin says that it “will never forget” the incident.

On June 15, 2023, a bus carrying a group of seniors from the Dauphin area to a casino crashed into a semi-truck, killing 17 people.

In a Facebook post on Sunday, the City of Dauphin said that the crash “deeply affected our community and took the lives of so many cherished members of our community.

“On this solemn anniversary, the mayor, council, and staff of the City of Dauphin pause to remember those we lost and to honour the families, friends, and loved ones who continue to carry their memory forward.”

The statement says the community has shown “strength and resilience … in the face of unimaginable grief.”

In June 2024, Manitoba RCMP and Crown prosecutors announced they would not lay charges against the bus driver involved in the crash.
