Story out of Regina, Saskatchewan:
Workers are back in the building following an asbestos scare that led to the evacuation of the downtown Regina offices of the Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety.
About 90 government employees on three floors were told to leave the office Tuesday morning. Word that workers were back in the building was noted around 3 p.m. Wednesday.
Workers who were repairing a leak cut through a drain pipe. After that work was done and the area was cleaned up, it was determined that the pipe contained asbestos.
