KANANASKIS – Alberta RCMP have recovered the bodies of two boaters who disappeared last month after a canoe capsized on a lake in the Rocky Mountains.
Mounties have identified them as a 33-year-old woman from Banff, Alta., and a 34-year-old man from Canmore, Alta.
Four people were in the canoe when it overturned on Upper Kananaskis Lake, an area tucked behind several mountain tops near the Alberta-B.C. boundary.
RCMP have said bystanders in boats and on paddleboards pulled a 30-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman from the water but the two others were unaccounted for.
It was the second time in weeks that boaters died in the Rockies.
A 60-year-old man and his 30-year-old son died when a canoe capsized on Barrier Lake, an hour’s drive west of Calgary.
A 56-year-old woman also in the boat was hospitalized with hypothermia.
