Summary

Then 26 year old civil engineer Andrew Gnazdowsky and a co-worker were on site completing a survey of a Nova Scotia Power dam near Sheet Harbour in October of 2020. When a technology failure disrupted their work, Andrew made the fateful decision to enter the water and collect a piece of equipment. Moments later, Andrew would yell for help before ultimately disappearing below the still water. In the year since Andrew's tragic death, the Gnazdowsky's have been steadfast in their belief that the investigation into Andrew's death has been flawed at best, completely compromised at worst, and it's not just a hunch that tells them that. Nearly every step of the way it seems that Andrew's number one advocate, his sister Nicole Gnazdowsky, has been uncovering the kind of details that make a public inquiry a logical outcome. Conflicts of interest, erroneous death records, the scrubbing online records, bureaucratic flip flopping, and opportunistic politicians... This story has all of it. In this episode of Nighttime we are going to be joined by Nicole Gnazdowsky and our topic is the search for answers and accountability related to the death of her brother Andrew Gnazdowsky.
