Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 25 Dec, 2019 09:35 PM

    CAMPBELL RIVER, B.C. - Fish farm company Cermaq Canada says an employee died at one of its sites off the west coast of Vancouver Island.

     

    WorkSafeBC says in a statement that it was notified Sunday about a serious boating incident in the Tofino area.

     

    It says it will conduct an investigation to identify a cause and contributing factors of the death, so similar incidents can be prevented from happening in the future.

     

    A statement from the BC Coroners Service says it is also looking into the unexpected death of a man at the farm.

     

    Cermaq says it is deeply saddened by the death.

     

    The company says out of respect for the family of the person killed, the employees involved and the official follow-up process, it won't be providing more details about the incident.
