Sad Day in the Fraser Valley

On the last Saturday of April a tragic accident happened at one of our launch sites. A life ended, many others were changed for ever and our small community of flyers was shook up to the core. Odd circumstances kept the event in the news for a long time. Sadness, unanswered questions and thoughts remain, on the fragility of life, randomness of fate and on risks and rewards of our adventures.
