On Wednesday, hundreds of people gathered for a service to remember Beckett, a 32-year-old mother of two, on the one-year anniversary of her death.

A probe is also underway by the Independent Investigations Office, which has forwarded a report to Crown counsel for consideration of charges against an RCMP officer who was chasing a vehicle that hit Beckett’s cruiser.
