Hearst native Mathieu Nolet dies as a result of injuries from avalanche

An avalanche accident in Southern British Columbia has claimed its second victim.

Constable Mathieu Nolet of Hearst died at a Kelowna Hospital on Saturday following injuries received in the avalanche.

Nelson BC Police Chief  Donovan Fisher says they lost a second officer, as well as a friend and part of our Nelson Police Family.

“It’s been truly devastating,” Fisher said. “Constable Nolet worked for the Nelson Police Department for just over a year. Coming to us from Calgary where he was a police officer the year before. He will be greatly missed by all of us.”
