Montreal police officers are resuming their search for a 27-year-old man who fell into the St. Lawrence River over the weekend.
Caroline Chèvrefils, spokesperson for the police force, said the operation resumed Monday afternoon after it was suspended late Sunday night.
“Unfortunately, the man is still not found,” she said.

The man went missing around 7 p.m. Saturday night in the water near the Verdun borough. He was in a boat with a woman and another man when it drifted into the rapids and he fell into the river, according to initial reports.
Police say the two other people on the boat were rescued.
The nautical division of the police force is set to canvass the St. Lawrence River while police cadets will comb the shoreline on Monday afternoon.
The fire department will also aid in the search, Chèvrefils said. Two boats will patrol the waters in the afternoon.
