Manitoba bus crash: The future of the Trans Canada Highway after tragic collision

The Trans Canada highway is a lifeline that runs across this country. Taken for granted in the modern day, paved roads outside of our cities were relatively rare until the 20th century.

The highway traverses 10 provinces: from British Columbia, across the Prairies, Ontario, Quebec, Atlantic Canada and into Newfoundland.

Not including the offshoots, such as Yellowhead and Highway 17, the main route runs 7,821 kilometers, and is the world's fourth-longest highway.

Global’s Dawna Friesen speaks with those from Manitoba’s Professional Truck Driving Championships held this weekend on their memories and hopes for the future of this open road.
