It is with tremendous sadness that the City of Wetaskiwin announces the passing of James Gilbert, who served as health and safety coordinator, fire prevention officer, and paid-on-call firefighter with our organization for more than five years. Our thoughts are with James’ family and friends during this difficult time. Peer support is being provided, and the City flags have been lowered until further notice in honour of James’ memory and his many contributions to both the organization and the community.
