A statement on behalf of Lafarge Canada Inc. on the death of a cyclist in Ottawa
OTTAWA, July 31, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ – We were deeply distressed when we learned of this fatal incident last evening involving a third party contractor working for Lafarge and a cyclist in Ottawa. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who are affected by this tragedy, especially with the family members of the cyclist.
To know that a family has been forever changed by this tragedy is devastating. The loss is heart wrenching, the impact lasting. Today, and for many days to come, our hearts will be with the family and friends as they face the unimaginable.
At Lafarge Canada, safety is our most important value. This terrible tragedy serves to remind us of the vital importance of safety in our community.
Lafarge, along with our partner Prestige Haulage, are taking every necessary step to establish all of the facts and will cooperate fully with the authorities as they continue their investigation.
