Ontario's ministry of labour is investigating after a 20-year-old contractor died while working for a hedge-trimming company.
Nick Chenier , pictured with his mother Jen, died during a workplace accident in Manotick on Friday, May 5, 2023.
The workplace fatality happened on Friday in Manotick, a ministry spokesperson said. The man, 20-year-old Nick Chenier, was working for Best Green Hedges."I don’t think it’s possible to put into words the utter devastation of losing him - we're a close team, and Nick was like family to all of us," Sheldon Best Green said. "He always had a smile on his face, and was one of the most joyful and hardworking guys we have ever known.
The ministry of labour did not identify Chenier by name or give further details about the accident. But a"Sadly, Nick was electrocuted when he hit an overhead hydro line that was buried within the hedge ," the GoFundMe page said. "Despite the best efforts of first responder and the Emergency Department at the Queensway Carleton Hospital they were unable to bring Nick back."
Best Green Hedges is a cedar trimming company whose website says it serves locations across the entire Ottawa region. The company is based in North Gower.
