The Canadian TSB reported: "During the landing sequence on Runway 32 at CYOW, the aircraft drifted to the left and, upon touchdown on the hard surface, the left main landing gear was laterally within a few feet from the runway edge lights. A subsequent inspection revealed no damage to the runway edge lights or the aircraft." The TSB rated the occurrence a runway excursion but did not open an investigation.
