(DYERS BAY, ON.) – A
co-ordinated effort between the RCC Trenton, Canadian Coast Guard and
Bruce Peninsula Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) for a missing 63 year
old woman and her 10 year old grand-nephew visiting from Bosnia has
ended with the pair being found.
They were last seen at the Dyers Bay dock in the Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula at 12:30 pm, Tuesday, August 17th. They had been seen paddling south along the shore in a green Coleman canoe wearing yellow lifejackets. When the two had not returned by 4:30 p.m., emergency services were contacted. Two Canadian Coast Guard vessels and a RCC Trenton helicopter along with OPP Marine Units converged in the area to search for the missing pair. An extensive search of the area shoreline was undertaken. At 5:00 a.m., a green Coleman canoe was recovered about 5 km off shore near south Cape Chin. The search continued this morning for the missing persons.
