A joint investigation by federal law enforcement into the use of illegal workers in the Rocky Mountain region of Alberta has resulted in charges for an Ontario man.

The June 2022 probe by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the RCMP’s Integrated Border Enforcement Team (IBET) identified a group of foreign nationals travelling from Ontario to Alberta to work illegally in the hospitality industry in Banff National Park, the border agency said in a press release.
