Emergency services, including RCMP officers, local fire departments, and paramedics, rushed to the scene shortly after the collision. Despite their efforts, both pilots were pronounced dead on site.

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) has been notified and is expected to launch a full investigation into what caused the two planes to collide under such devastating circumstances. As of now, officials have not released further details about the identities of the pilots or the circumstances leading up to the incident. The RCMP is expected to hold a press conference later today to provide updates.
This heartbreaking event is a reminder of the risks that pilots and those in aviation face every day, even in calm weather and familiar skies. For a community like Steinbach—small, close-knit, and peaceful—this tragedy is sure to leave a lasting impact. Residents and those who knew the pilots will now be left mourning and searching for answers.
As we await further findings from investigators, our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to the families, friends, and loved ones of the two pilots who lost their lives. May they rest in peace, and may the ongoing investigation bring some clarity and closure to this unimaginable loss.
