The province has scheduled a state memorial for former Alberta premier and federal cabinet minister Jim Prentice who was one of four people killed in the crash of a corporate jet near Kelowna last Friday.
The event will be held two weeks after the crash, on Friday, October 28 at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, starting at 11 a.m. and is open to the public.
Prentice was remembered with tears and tributes in Parliament on Monday and an official book of condolences for him was made available for people to sign earlier this week.
Also killed in the Kelowna crash were Ken Gellatley, the father-in-law of one of Prentice’s daughters, former RCMP officer Jim Kruk, who was piloting the aircraft and Calgary businessman Sheldon Reid.
