Alberta Agriculture and Forestry Minister Oneil Carlier issued the following statement in relation to the tragic incident on a family-owned farm near Rocky Mountain House:
“My thoughts are with the family of the three girls who died in the Hamlet of Withrow and my heart aches for them today. As a father myself, I believe no parent should have to bear the loss of a child.
“I join Albertans in expressing grief and sympathy for the parents of these girls as they go through this unimaginable sorrow.”
