2 People Missing After Canoe Capsizes on Upper Kananaskis Lake

Two occupants remain missing after a canoe capsized on Upper Kananaskis Lake, prompting an ongoing multi-agency search involving local emergency services and bystanders.

  • On Tuesday, a canoe overturned on Upper Kananaskis Lake in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, tossing four occupants into the water; Alberta RCMP are searching for a pair of boaters in their 30s who remain missing.
  • The area, tucked behind mountain tops near Alberta's boundary with British Columbia, includes Upper Kananaskis Lake in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park roughly 140 km southwest of Calgary; Cochrane RCMP and Kananaskis Emergency Services responded around 4 p.m. after a canoe capsized.
  • The initial rescue saw nearby boaters and paddleboarders pull a 30-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman from the water after four people capsized in the canoe, police said.
  • Emergency crews remained on scene late Wednesday afternoon as part of a multi-agency search effort, with rescuers combing waterways and shorelines behind mountain tops near Alberta's boundary with British Columbia.
  • This incident follows a recent similar event in Kananaskis Country, marking the second water rescue effort in recent weeks after a 60-year-old man and a 30-year-old man drowned on Aug. 16 at Barrier Lake.
