RCMP in Sylvan Lake said search efforts were continuing Tuesday to find a 43-year-old man who disappeared after his boat capsized near Sunbreaker Cove on Sunday.
RCMP said three adults and a 10-year-old child left the cove in a boat and about 10 minutes later, a storm hit the lake.
The boat overturned shortly after 4 p.m. and all four people fell into the water. Three of them “were able to stay with the boat with the assistance of their personal flotation devices and eventually managed to swim to shore,” RCMP said in a news release.
