The owner of Landgraff Forestry pleaded guilty in a Windsor court yesterday (Dec 21) to not keeping workers out of a zone where falling limbs could land.
The incident happened on July 19. 2014 when the company was removing two dead trees and a 12 ft limb slipped from a rope and fell on a worker.
The worker sustained critical injuries including fractures.
SPS Board Chair Kelly Ash said the decision followed discussions with Acting Chief Mike Federico and aligns with practices at other police services.
The annual Canada Day parade will begin at 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 27, from Wildwood Park to Kenwick Park.
