The agency that oversees safety at B.C. amusement parks says investigators have found “electrical non compliances” at Cultus Lake Waterpark where a group of 12 schoolchildren suffered electrical burns on Monday.

Technical Safety BC, which is leading the investigation into what went wrong at the park, said in a statement on Wednesday that the finding means the park in the Fraser Valley will be shut until the problems are fixed and there is no timeline for reopening.
