Sandy Sanderson, Cheap Trick's truck driver, was treated for a laceration to the abdomen and released from hospital the same day. An investigation by the Ministry of Labour concluded the stage was poorly constructed, and though the report recommended criminal charges, none were filed due to building codes for temporary structures not covering staging that lasted less than 30 days.<sup id="cite_ref-Kot_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Kot-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Nesting_Killdeer">Nesting Killdeer</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ottawa_Bluesfest&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Nesting Killdeer"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ottawa_Bluesfest_2018,_just_past_sunset_on_the_last_night,_as_seen_from_the_RBC_VIP_tent._The_follow-spot_and_speaker_tower_is_silhouetted_against_a_beautiful_summer_sky.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a3/Ottawa_Bluesfest_2018%2C_just_past_sunset_on_the_last_night%2C_as_seen_from_the_RBC_VIP_tent._The_follow-spot_and_speaker_tower_is_silhouetted_against_a_beautiful_summer_sky.jpg/220px-thumbnail.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a3/Ottawa_Bluesfest_2018%2C_just_past_sunset_on_the_last_night%2C_as_seen_from_the_RBC_VIP_tent._The_follow-spot_and_speaker_tower_is_silhouetted_against_a_beautiful_summer_sky.jpg/330px-thumbnail.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a3/Ottawa_Bluesfest_2018%2C_just_past_sunset_on_the_last_night%2C_as_seen_from_the_RBC_VIP_tent._The_follow-spot_and_speaker_tower_is_silhouetted_against_a_beautiful_summer_sky.jpg/440px-thumbnail.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3264" data-file-height="2448" /></a><figcaption>A beautiful view of the closing night of Ottawa's RBC Bluesfest 2018, as taken by a Bluesfest volunteer.</figcaption></figure><p>During preparations for the 2018 festival, a pair of <a href="/wiki/Killdeer" title="Killdeer">killdeer</a> was found nesting on some cobblestones, which help camouflage the eggs.
