A Town of Fort Smith employee has passed away following a car accident in Northern Alberta.
Anand Soochit, who was the Town’s corporate services officer, was killed in the accident on December 22 according to Mayor Lynn Napier-Buckley in a post to Facebook on Monday afternoon.
“Our thoughts are with Anand’s wife, Marie – who remains in critical condition – and their children during this difficult time,” her post read.
“It is a hard loss for families to face such a tragedy over the holidays and it is a reminder of the importance of taking this time to spend with our loved ones.”
