LAC DU BONNET – Divers and drones are searching for two boys, 10 and 13, swept into fast-moving rapids in a Manitoba lake over the weekend.
RCMP say the search at Nutimik Lake includes officers from its Lac du Bonnet detachment and marine unit, along with a volunteer underwater search group.
Police were called to the possible drowning Saturday afternoon near Sturgeon Falls Trail in Whiteshell Provincial Park.
They say it’s believed one boy slipped on rocks and fell into the water, but it’s unclear if the other boy jumped in to help or also fell.
RCMP say the boys are related but would not provide additional details.
Manitoba Parks says it’s reviewing safety measures in the area, which already include warning signs that describe slippery or hidden rocks, strong currents and a steep drop-off.
