Jerad: Absolutely heartbreaking news coming out of James Smith Cree Nation. Two members of the local band Constant Reminder have passed away in a car accident.
I started my radio career in Melfort 13 years ago, and I have a solid memory of seeing these kids perform at the Melfort Fair. I was absolutely blown away by their drive and talent.
Rest in peace Seth and Rene Constant, and to the man from Kinistino who also lost his life...Please keep their family in your thoughts as we head into the weekend.
