Preston Heinbigner’s family sits in the gallery along with firefighters as he is recognized during Wednesday afternoon’s sitting of the legislative assembly.

Waverley MLA David Pankratz, the NDP’s deputy house leader, reads a member statement in honour of Heinbigner to advocate for better mental health support for first responders and lays a wreathe in the house in his honour.

After the reading Preston Heinbigner’s pregnant wife, Shayda Tashakor, walks down the grand staircase of the Legislative Building escorted by Premier Wab Kinew and MLA David Pankratz, along with 200 firefighters and rescue personal. The group along with family members and friends made their way to the Manitoba Workers Memorial in Memorial Park for a short ceremony.
