On September 26, family and friends honoured Fernie gas leak victim Lloyd Smith, with a memorial bench and tree dedication in his home town of High River, Alta.

“The bench is placed not far from the spot that Mom and Dad used to take us to swim and throw rocks in the river,” wrote his sister, Karen, on Facebook.

“Many thanks to those who contributed to the fund for these memorial items, and to those who joined us this evening. And, the many who joined us in spirit.”
