Deadly Canada Day weekend on Alberta waters

Jul 2, 2019 | 6:00 AM

It’s been a deadly long weekend on Alberta’s lakes and rivers.

RCMP say a man in his 20’s disappeared under the water at Lake Herbert in Banff National Park on Sunday when he fell off a paddle board.

Searchers, meanwhile, continued to look yesterday for a swimmer in his 20’s who leaped from a ledge into the High Wood River in Foothills County on Sunday, surfaced for a moment, then went underwater and did not resurface.

Also Sunday, Mounties say witnesses observed a male wearing a life jacket floating in the turbulent Clearwater River.

Police located a vehicle and boat trailer near the area and have not been able to contact the owner from Calgary, and they believe it was the person seen in the water.
