    Try checking at the local library for old newspapers. They may have some information. I am sure that Canada has their version of our NTSB. If they have a web site, maybe you can search for information about this accident. If you knew the flight number or the tail number airplane involved that would make your search much easier.

      The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has accident reports online dating back to 1990



      I couldn't find anything earlier than that, but there should be information somewhere

          AD just has the PWA(737) 1978 crash in Cranbrook BC.

          Looking around on Google and other sites, I couldn't find any PWA crash in Edmonton. The one above is listed in a few Candaian 'date' and 'disaster' sites, but nothing related to Edmonton/Leduc/CYEG/YEG/707.
