Workplace safety board s investigation found employees were left to improvise dangerous ways to clear snow from the wheels that make the Grande Roue turn.
MONTREAL Quebec's workplace safety board is blaming deficient safety practices at the ferris wheel in Montreal's Old Port for the death of a worker at the tourist attraction on Christmas Day 2021.
Riley Valcin, 22, was clearing snow from the drive mechanism while the wheel was in operation and was caught in the machinery. The board says the area where Valcin died should never have been accessible to workers.
