The 34th Anniversary of the Bentall Tragedy was yesterday, January 7th and representatives from IUOE Local 115 were there along with family members and the public to remember the workers who plunged to their deaths when a fly form collapsed at the 36th floor of the Bentall Centre Tower IV building in 1981.
Each year representatives from the BC Building trades gather to remember Gunther Couvreux; Brian Stevenson; Donald Davis; and Yrjo Mitrunen. They also come together to remember the 898 construction workers that died from trauma and exposures since the Bentall Tragedy. They gather at the western corner of the park at the Burrard Skytrain Station and laid wreaths at the Bentall Memorial plaque.
Pictured from left to right in the picture below, from the IUOE Local 115 are Business Representatives Craig McIntosh and Frank Carr, and Business Manager Brian Cochrane.
