• State memorial for former Alberta premier Jim Prentice set for Oct. 28

The crash also claimed the lives of former premier Jim Prentice, 60, and pilot Jim Kruk, 62.

A funeral for Kruk was held Oct. 21 in Airdrie.

A state memorial will be held for Prentice at 11 a.m. Friday at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, which will be broadcast live by CBC.

The four had flown to B.C. to play golf Oct. 13 and were headed back to Springbank Airport when the crash happened shortly after takeoff.

The Transportation Safety Board says while its work at the crash site has been completed, the investigation will take some time to complete.

The wreckage will be taken to the TSB's lab in Ottawa, officials say. Investigators will look into the pilot's background, review the weather conditions, radar information, all communications with air traffic control and examine the aircraft's records.

Officials have already revealed the plane did not have flight data or voice recorders on board and there were no distress callsbefore it crashed.
