Tragedies caused by human error

This month we have again experienced senseless tragedy in Iqaluit caused by human error. Two children are dead because we as adults did not do our job.

When will we learn to mark the guy wires for utility poles (force the power corporation to recognize its responsibility), and as drivers, drive slower with the reality that kids will run out in front of us?

Although it is too late for these kids, we have to ensure that these types of accidents do not happen again.

NPC: Mark your guy wires. Drivers: Drive slowly.
