A German tourist, who visited Alberta to celebrate his 60th birthday, still requires 24/7 care and likely will never work again, says the Honorary German Consulate in Calgary.

"He is still very limited when it comes to communications, so he cannot speak and he can't walk … which has a huge impact of course on his life and of everyone else, his family," Honorary Consul Hubertus Liebrecht told CBC News in a phone interview, his first time speaking to media since the incident.

"It's very difficult to really make a reliable forecast at this point but he will never be able to work again, that seems to be sure."

Liebrecht said he's been contacted by many tourism agencies in Germany since the incident, inquiring about safety in Alberta.
