SOUTHEND, Sask. – The owner of a wilderness lodge in northern Saskatchewan has filed a complaint with the RCMP over damage to the site.
According to Kelly Littlechilds, the owner of Arctic Lodges, damage to the lodge and surrounding buildings located on Reindeer Lake happened between Nov. 7 and 9.
It’s the same time period a search was underway for five missing teens from Southend after they failed to return from a moose-hunting trip.
The teens were located and returned home safely on Nov. 10.
Earlier this week, Littlechilds told The Canadian Press doors had been kicked in and fishing gear, clothing and all-terrain vehicles were out of place.
“If there is any damage up there, we look at it pretty seriously,” he said. “It takes a lot of time, effort and money to not only haul everything up there and rebuild, but it’s a labour of love.”
Littlechilds said some of the buildings are left unlocked with food inside for anyone who might be lost.
Southend RCMP continue to investigate.
