It is with heavy hearts and great sadness we are reporting the death of a Manitoba Hydro employee at one of our work sites this morning in the Interlake.
“Our deepest sympathies go out to the individual’s loved ones, friends and coworkers,” says Manitoba Hydro President and CEO Allan Danroth. “We are devastated to lose a member of our Manitoba Hydro family. The safety of our employees and customers is our top priority and we are committed to fully investigating the cause of this tragedy.”
The individual was performing work related to a power outage. The cause of the fatality is under investigation, but there is no risk to public safety and Manitoba Hydro is fully cooperating with the appropriate authorities.
We are not releasing the deceased employee’s name while we support the family and respect their privacy.
