HUMBOLDT, SASKATCHEWAN
The International Star Registry’s Canadian office has agreed to name a star after each person who died as a result of the Humboldt Broncos bus collision last April with a trac- tor-trailer, thanks to Saskatchewan truck driver Blaine Davies.
Davies, an avid Broncos fan and former hockey commentator, advo- cated for the stars to be named in their honor, with team players, the coach, assistant coach, statistician, athletic therapist, broadcaster, and the bus driver all being recognized.
The 16 stars are located in the same section of the Ursa Minor

Ritchie Bros.’ Edmonton auction breaks $78 million in sales
EDMONTON, ALBERTA
Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers held another successful auction in Edmonton this week, selling more than $78 million of equipment.
“We continued to see strong pricing for equipment and trucks in this week’s auction,” said
Trent Vandenberghe, regional sales manager for Ritchie Bros. “Transportation pricing remains solid and bidding on heavy con- struction equipment was very active, showcasing depth in the market for this equipment right now.”
The auction took place from Sept. 4-6 and attracted more than 9,000 bidders from 49 countries, including more than 6,850 people registered online.
Approximately 88% of the equip- ment was sold to Canadian buys, 56% of which in Alberta. International buyers included those from the U.S., Singapore, and New Zealand, and online buyers purchased around 67% of all the assets sold.
“The auction was great, prices exceeded our expectations,” said Jason Weinberger, president of W Corporation, which sold more than 75 items as part of a complete dis- persal of his company’s trucking and drilling division. “We chose Ritchie Bros. because of the size and scope of their audience. I saw our equipment get bids from across Canada, as well as Mexico, and Colombia.” TW
