A woman who blamed fireworks for spooking her two dogs and injuring her arm when they bolted has dropped her lawsuit against a local church where the display was held.
Patricia Pedersen filed a consent order May 4 in B.C. Supreme Court in Prince George dismissing her claim against the defendants - which also included the city - without costs to any party.
The move comes nearly a year after she filed a claim against Christian and Missionary Alliance - Canadian Pacific District, which owns the Lakewood Alliance Church at the corner of Fifth and Ospika - over the injuries suffered on the night of Oct. 10, 2015.
They included breaking a bone in her upper arm and wrenching a shoulder.
She argued Lakewood had an obligation to give any advance notice that there would be fireworks going off in vicinity and failed to obtain permits to purchase and use the items. In a response, Lakewood said it had no such obligation and had obtained a permit from the city.
