Mourners comfort each other during a vigil to honour the victims of a fatal bus accident in Humboldt, Sask. on Sunday.

UPDATE- April 11, 2018: Humboldt Broncos athletic therapist Dayna Brons died of her injuries in hospital, five days after the bus crash. She is the 16th fatality in the accident.

As a Saskatchewan community mourns the 15 people killed in a bus accident on Friday, people across Canada are wearing green, donning jerseys, and leaving hockey sticks out to pay their respect to the victims and show their support to the survivors.

The Humboldt Broncos, a junior hockey team, were on their way to a playoff game in northeastern Saskatchewan when their team bus collided with a truck on Friday afternoon. Fifteen people are dead and 14 more are injured, according to the RCMP. The victims include 10 young hockey players, plus the head and assistant coaches, the team's radio announcer, the team statistician, and the bus driver.

The cause of the crash is still unknown.

On Monday, local students and people across Canada wore green to show their support for the Humboldt Broncos.
