An Air Canada Jazz de Havilland Dash 8-300, registration C-GTAG performing flight QK-8134 from Calgary,AB to Edmonton,AB (Canada) with 3 people on board, was on approach to Edmonton's runway 30 with the autopilot engaged about 6-7nm behind a Boeing 767-300 when the aircraft experienced wake turbulence causing an uncommanded roll to 30 degrees of bank angle and a climbing altitude excursion of 500 feet. The crew disconnected the autopilot, recovered the aircraft and continued the approach for a safe landing.

That is scary. DH3 experiencing that on approach must have been so frightening. White knuckle time!
What's with the 3 people on board? Does that mean there were no PAX? (i.e., 2 pilots and an FA)
