Of that amount, $365,000 is to go to the University of Alberta for research on vehicles, such as big-wheeled ice explorers, and $109,000 is to be given to STARS air ambulance.Brewster was initially charged with eight workplace offences. The other charges were withdrawn as part of the plea agreement, May said.
Three people were killed and 14 were injured after the tour bus lost control on the road to the Athabasca Glacier, about 100 kilometres from Jasper, on July 18, 2020. The bus was carrying about two dozen people when it rolled 50 metres down a moraine embankment in the Columbia Icefields before coming to rest on its roof.
The icefield tours stopped and resumed in 2022 after the operator added seatbelts to the buses and made changes to training for its drivers.This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 1, 2023.
