B.C. union awaiting answers four years after crane collapse killed five people

July 11, 2025

Officials from a B.C. construction union say it’s been four years since a crane collapse killed five people in Kelowna, and their families and the industry are still waiting for answers from WorkSafeBC about what happened, and from prosecutors about possible criminal charges. 

The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 115, which represents hundreds of crane operators in the province, says it’s calling on the BC Prosecution Service to move forward with a criminal trial to “deliver justice to the victims’ families.”
