## Resource

A new plaque honors 22 young railway workers killed in Saskatchewan’s deadliest highway crash in 1980 — a horrific chain collision that turned a rainy afternoon into chaos, with a tanker fire claiming lives and leaving families in agony. Though overshadowed by more recent tragedies, this disaster remains Canada’s third-worst road accident. Survivors, rescuers, and a local rancher who witnessed it helped install the plaque, ensuring these men — who traveled from out of province to build better lives — are remembered with dignity and never forgotten.
