KITCHENER A concerning COVID-19 trend has emerged this week in Waterloo Region. There are currently two outbreaks at day camps, affecting children who are not eligible for the vaccine. One of those camps is at the University of Waterloo’s Columbia Icefield. “During the week public health let us know that we had two cases confirmed at one of our hockey day camps,” said Nick Manning, the Associate Vice-President of Communications at the school. On Friday, public health also confirmed more COVID-19 cases at a separate day camp. They say they will release details about that second outbreak Saturday.
EDMONTON Nearly a year after a tragic accident last summer killed three people and injured dozens of others, the RCMP will release the accident report into the rollover of an Ice Explorer all-terrain vehicle at the Columbia Icefield in fall 2021. Originally, the RCMP were planning to release the results of their investigation into the accident that occurred on July 18, 2020, this spring. “Alberta RCMP continue to pursue multiple avenues of investigation, but are not able to release any new information at this time,” Mounties said in a statement Thursday. “No further details can be shared at this time.” In May, tours of the Icefield using Ice Explorer vehicles resumed after being halted following the accident.
