An interim public alarm system is being installed on the Cleveland Dam and along the Capilano River in North Vancouver to prevent future deaths from a sudden release of water.
Five people fishing on the river last October were swept away during an accidental release of water from the reservoir that supplies Metro Vancouver with its drinking water.
Three people managed to escape, while two men were killed in the spillway release, which the Metro Vancouver regional district said was human error.
