“When people walk through downtown Halifax, city hall is a fairly prominent building. So when they see green and gold, I’m sure their minds will go directly to where we want them to, which is: ‘Our thoughts and prayers for those in Saskatchewan,'” municipal spokesperson Brendan Elliott said in an interview.

On Friday, there was a deadly collision involving a semi-truck and bus carrying the hockey team members.

Toronto’s CN Tower Twitter account said on Saturday that the structure was going to be lit up to commemorate those killed.

The lights at Halifax City Hall automatically turn on at dusk. The plan is to maintain this colour scheme for the rest of the week so long as there no conflicts with other observances, Elliott said.
