RCMP on Friday announced they and crown prosecutors discovered "no criminal costs are warranted" within the July 2020 crash on Alberta's Athabasca Glacier.

It was a very concerned multifaceted investigation," media officer Cpl. Troy Savinkoff explained in an interview.

Mounties concluded their investigation earlier in 2022 and have been reviewing proof since then.

"Ultimately, the decision was made that there wasn't sufficient evidence in order to put criminal fees."
