Two boaters are missing after a canoe capsized on Upper Kananaskis Lake in southern Alberta on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Cochrane RCMP and Kananaskis Emergency Services responded to a report of two missing boaters around 4 p.m. on Tuesday, after a canoe with four people,\u00a0none of whom were wearing life jackets according to police,\u00a0flipped over.<\/p>\n
Bystanders, using boats and paddle boards, were able to rescue a 30-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman. But another man and a woman, both in their 30s, remain missing. RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Troy Savinkoff said none of the boaters\u00a0were Canadian citizens, but he could not confirm where they reside.<\/p>\n
Emergency crews remained on the scene late\u00a0Wednesday afternoon, as part of a multi-agency search effort which included the use of\u00a0a helicopter, police said.<\/p>\n
Upper Kananaskis Lake is located in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, roughly 140 km southwest of Calgary.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred just a little more than a week after RCMP responded to a call about another capsized canoe<\/a> in the area.<\/p>\n On Aug.\u00a016, police were called to Barrier Lake, which is roughly 55 kilometres north of Upper Kananaskis Lake. Emergency responders found a\u00a060-year-old man dead at the scene and\u00a0took a 56-year-old woman with hypothermia to the hospital. A few days later, they\u00a0located the body of a second victim<\/a>, a 30-year-old man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two boaters are missing after a canoe capsized on Upper Kananaskis Lake in southern Alberta on Tuesday.
