The search continues this morning for a missing canoeist in the waters off of Bayside in Antigonish County.
RCMP divers and local fishermen have joined the search for a 33-year-old man who has been missing since his overturned canoe was found around 5:30 p.m. yesterday in the Old Breakwater area.
RCMP say the case is being investigated as a missing persons case, and it’s not known at this point if the man was wearing a life jacket at the time of the incident.
A second person, who was also in the canoe, managed to make it safely to shore.
Area firefighters and a DNR helicopter have also been involved in the search.
