Canada has reset trial for Sept. 7, 2021 in a rare criminal case against a major company—U.S. contractor Kiewit Corp.—for a workplace fatality stemming from a more than decade-old accident on a remote British Columbia hydroelectric project that killed a 24-year-old field employee.
The firm and two of its former site managers, who also were charged last year with one count of criminal negligence in the Feb. 22, 2009 death of rock scaler Sam Fitzpatrick, will face trial in the Provincial Court of British Columbia in Vancouver, according to the B.C. Prosecution Service.
