A 25-year-old man was held at the scene and released without charges pending further investigation by members of the central traffic unit.

The man was arrested Monday and is facing charges of driving while ability impaired causing death and a dangerous operation of motor vehicle causing death. He was released on a promise to appear in court.

Gilbert’s family and friends are hosting a social in the young woman’s honour next month to raise money to fund a scholarship in her name at the U of W.
