SaskPower CEO issued a statement Saturday after a workplace incident on Thursday resulted in the death of two SaskPower employees.

CEO Mike Marsh says Scott Bill and Cole Crooks worked as powerline technicians on the Weyburn construction crew and their work took them to many communities in southern Saskatchewan. He says from the bottom of their hearts, they acknowledge them for their service and dedication to SaskPower and to the customers across the province. Marsh says this terrible loss of members of the SaskPower family and of the Weyburn community, is deeply felt by all.

Marsh concluded by saying on behalf of the entire Executive team and Board of Directors at SaskPower, their heartfelt condolences and sincere sympathies go out to the families, friends and co-workers in this difficult time.
