Hydro One employees killed in a December 2017 helicopter crash in eastern Ontario were remembered by their families as proud tradespeople with “lifetimes ahead of them,” as an inquest into their deaths opened Monday.
Four Hydro One employees — 39-year-old James Baragar, 27-year-old Kyle Shorrock and 26-year-olds Jeff Howes and Darcy Jansen — were working on a transmission tower in Tweed, Ont., and later crashed when the chopper carrying them was approaching to land.
