When Nicole Gnazdowsky can t sleep, she often finds her mind turning to the sunny October day her younger brother, Andrew, drowned at work.
The civil engineer from New Brunswick had been trying to swim out to retrieve a piece of surveying equipment about 100 metres from the shoreline of a Nova Scotia reservoir when he ran into some kind of trouble.
As a team of divers recovered the 26-year-old s body last fall, his sister dipped her toes in the water at the Marshall Falls beach, not far from the dam that is part of Nova Scotia Power s Sheet Harbour hydroelectric system. Off in the distance, she could see homes with docks jutting into the water.

The Nova Scotia government is hoping to find a way to return campus life to something closer to normal in September for students planning to attend one of the province s 10 universities.
The deputy minister of advanced education, Duff Montgomerie, told a committee of the Nova Scotia Legislature Tuesday that his department had been working with university administrators on a plan to help bring the kids back to campus in the fall.
Speaking to CBC News following the meeting, the senior bureaucrat said the plan was currently being reviewed within the department and would ultimately need the go-ahead from Dr. Robert Strang, Nova Scotia s chief medical officer of health.
