Authorities say one man was killed and two other people were injured in a separate series of events in the Rocky Mountains west of Calgary.
Canmore RCMP, along with Kananaskis Public Safety and Kananaskis Emergency Services, were called to an area near Mount Yamnuska for reports a hiker had fallen.
While the injured male was being helped by a number of bystanders, several boulders came free from the slope and fell down on the injured male and bystanders. Crews from both Alpine Helicopters and STARS Air Ambulance attended the scene but, unfortunately, the man died of his injuries.
