A person sustained serious, but non-life threatening, injuries in an incident at the construction site of Kalesnikoff's new mass timber facility in Castlegar.
Emergency crews were called to the site around 11:20 a.m. on Jan. 29. Castlegar Fire, BC Ambulance, Kootenay Emergency Response Physicians Association and RCMP all responded to the call.
According to Kalesnikoff's vice president Dwayne Sorenson, the incident involved a sub-contractor and was not directly related to the construction of the building.
Sorenson said no further information will be disclosed as investigations are underway by the sub-contractor and WorkSafe BC.
"We would like to express our thanks to the emergency services that promptly attended the site," added Sorenson.
