FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. — Nexen Energy has pleaded not guilty to eight charges stemming from a fatal explosion at the company’s oilsands site in northern Alberta.
Drew Foster, who was 52 and from Niagara Falls, Ont., died at the scene.
Thirty-year-old David Williams of Scotchtown, N.S., died several days later in hospital.
