Lee Cawson, vice president of Aurora Ford, confirmed the electricity-related incident took place Saturday. He said they will likely have more information in the coming days. 

Cawson said that he wouldnSA国际影视传媒檛 speculate what the cause of the accident may have been ahead of the Workers' Safety and Compensation Commission (WSCC) review but that the group is cooperating fully with WSCC and will look at whatever recommendations or results come out of their investigation to prevent future incidents.  

Cawson said that emergency services were immediately called after the incident around 3 p.m. Saturday afternoon. Staff while staff performed first aid while they waited for paramedics to arrive.

Aurora Ford Yellowknife remained closed to the public Monday in order to provide on-site support for staff. The capital location will re-open Tuesday, though Cawson anticipates SA国际影视传媒減robably not at full staffSA国际影视传媒� as some may still require additional supports. 

In the five years Cawson has been in the North he said the company has never experienced anything like this. He indicated that WSCCSA国际影视传媒檚 on-site investigation is complete but wasnSA国际影视传媒檛 sure how long it would be until the review is finished in full.
