A new memorial has been unveiled near Swift Current, Saskatchewan, commemorating a devastating 1980 highway accident. The incident, which occurred on May 28th, involved three vehicles and resulted in the deaths of 22 young men and injuries to eight others. The victims were railway workers, part of a Canadian Pacific Railway crew known as the “Prairie Steel Gang,” who had travelled to Saskatchewan from other provinces for work. The roadside plaque details the tragedy, bringing renewed attention to an event that, despite its scale, remains relatively unknown. The memorial serves as a tribute to the lives lost and a reminder of the dangers faced by those working on the railways. It aims to ensure the memory of these workers is preserved for future generations.
