It has just been announced that charges have been recommended by Worksafe BC in the case of the Lakeland explosion in Prince George. Today is Feb. 23rd, Alan's birthday, ironic.
Keep the potion going for those Burns Lake families.

PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. – WorkSafeBC is recommending charges under the Workers Compensation Act in connection with a fatal explosion of a mill in Prince George in 2012.

Spokesman Scott McCloy confirms that the agency sent the information to Crown on Wednesday.

He says Crown will make a decision to approve or reject the recommended charges by late April.

McCloy says he could not provide further details, citing legal concerns.

The explosion at Lakeland Mills killed 43-year-old Alan Little and 46-year-old Glenn Roche and occurred months after a similar incident in Burns Lake.

Similar charges were also recommended after WorkSafeBC investigated the Burns Lake mill explosion, but were thrown out in part due to a flawed investigation by the provincial agency.
