Manitoba RCMP seek Garden Hill boater last seen Nov. 1

Manitoba RCMP are on the lookout for a 42-year-old Garden Hill First Nation man who has been missing for almost a week.

Harold Christopher Taylor was reported missing on Sunday, having been last seen four days earlier, when he is believed to have taken a boat to Wass Island to get firewood.

Police said members of the community searched the island and surrounding areas, and eventually found his boat, abandoned, floating near the shore of another island in the area.

So far, search and rescue groups on foot, by boat, and by aircraft have been unsuccessful in finding Taylor.

Island Lake RCMP said its underwater recovery team will be helping with the search Tuesday.

Taylor is described as six feet two inches and 220 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, and was last seen wearing a black parka and toque, as well as dark-coloured ski pants.
