This picture, in late August 2018, captures an eerie evening near Nipawin, Saskatchewan, at the road-side memorial for the Humboldt Broncos’ bus crash victims. Smoke from the B.C. forest fires dimmed the sunset and created a moody atmosphere as the Broncos were about to open their 2018 training camp. (Leah Hennel / Postmedia Calgary)
