An emotional afternoon at a Kelowna park today as the mother of one of the young construction workers who lost their life in the downtown crane collapse last summer spoke out. Danielle Pritchett was a keynote speaker at the Day of Mourning event, which honours lives lost in the workplace. As Klaudia Van Emmerik reports, the grieving mother is pleading with employers and workers to make safety a top priority so that no other parent has to experience what she calls the worst pain of her life.
