A Jazz de Havilland Dash 8-400, registration C-GJZD performing flight QK-8533 from Toronto,ON to Thunder Bay,ON (Canada) with 40 people on board, was on approach to Thunder Bay's runway 25 when the crew selected the gear down but did not receive and down and locked indication for the left main gear on both primary and alternate gear display. The crew initiated a go around, performed the related checklist executing an alternate gear extension, the left main gear still did not indicate down and locked. The crew subsequently attempted to pump the landing gear down for about 30-50 times, however, without success. The crew declared emergency, shut the left hand engine down and requested emergency services on standby. The cabin was prepared for an emergency landing, passengers were briefed.
