Town worker dies while attending emergency sewer backup call

The Town of Kindersley is in mourning after one of their own died on an emergency sewer backup call on the evening of August 30.

The incident happened around 10:30 pm when three workers were dispatched to the town’s industrial area.

One of the workers dug out a manhole cover and climbed into the cavity, where he was apparently overcome by poisonous gases.

Occupational Health and Safety is investigating the accident.

The man was well loved by his family, friends and coworkers. Kindersley Minor Hockey posted on their Facebook page that he “always had a smile on his face, a contagious laugh and a “Hello my friend” when he saw you.”
