NCC investigating hydrocarbon spill in Lac Leamy

Social Sharing The National Capital Commission (NCC) is investigating what it's calling a hydrocarbon spill at Lac Leamy in Gatineau, Que. A boom barrier has been set up in the channel northeast of the Casino du Lac-Leamy, according to an NCC spokesperson on Tuesday. The Crown corporation said Wednesday that mitigation measures had helped limit the spill. The beach at Lac Leamy is closed for swimming until further notice, and the NCC is recommending against entering the water. The NCC's website says parking at the lake will be free during the closure. The nearby park, pathways and picnic areas remain open. Hydrocarbons can be gas, liquid or solid and include, but are not limited to, oil and natural gas. The NCC spokesperson said Wednesday they couldn't specify the nature of the substance involved in the spill, or how it ended up in the lake.

Federal investigators continue to probe site of fatal N.W.T. helicopter crash

A pair of investigators from the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) will continue to photograph and take measurements on Wednesday of the wreckage from a fatal helicopter crash near Behchokǫ̀, N.W.T. Jon Lee, the board's western regional manager, told CBC News the small team arrived in Yellowknife around noon Tuesday and were on scene during the afternoon and early evening gathering data and statements from eye witnesses. "Today, that's going to continue — they're going to be working with Great Slave Helicopters collecting information about both the pilot and also the technical information around the helicopter itself," Lee said. RCMP responded to the crash site, about 1.5 kilometres from Highway 3 near Behchokǫ̀, at noon Monday. They said they did CPR on the pilot, the only person in the aircraft, but he died from his injuries. The identity of that individual has not been made public. CBC News has reached out to Great Slave Helicopters about the incident. As of Wednesday morning, the company had not done an interview or made a public statement about it. N.W.T. Fire has said the helicopter was not a part of its wildfire operations. Lee said the crash happened in a burned brush area 10 kilometres east of the Behchokǫ̀'s airstrip. He said the aircraft was substantially damaged. After investigators are done assessing the site, Lee said the next step will be bringing the helicopter back to the Transportation Safety Board's offices in Edmonton for a more detailed technical examination. That will mean co-ordinating recovery with whatever salvage company is hired by an insurance adjuster, he said. Lee said their investigation will be meticulous and scientific. The TSB will collect information about the people involved, the aircraft itself, and the environment — both the operational environment and the weather. They'll determine whether any of those things contributed to the crash, and from there "areas of concern and safety issues start to emerge from that data collection." Lee said it's hard to know how long an investigation will take in the early days — it could be a year, or two years. But, he said, if something emerges from the investigation that requires immediate attention, that will happen right away — Transport Canada, Great Slave Helicopters and aircraft manufacturers don't need a final report to come out before they take action.
