Early Monday morning, September 19, 2022, a passing dump truck ripped the communication lines out of the Valemount Elementary School. Telus representative, Chelsey Rajzer Senior Communications Manager, Public Relations confirmed that both hydro and telephone lines were damaged in the incident. Classes were not in session on Monday, but Telus still responded quickly to assess the situation. The damage to the building will need to be fixed before the site is fully repaired. “Our crews are on site and working in partnership with BC Hydro to repair the damage as quickly as possible,” said Rajzer. “We would like to thank our customers for their patience and understanding.” Sources say the driver was upset and sorry that this had occurred, and quickly informed all affected parties allowing for timely responses. /SUBMITTED
