Parks Canada scales back recovery operation for missing Calgary boy
FIELD, B.C. — Parks Canada says it has scaled back the recovery operation for an 11-year-old Calgary boy who fell into the Yoho River in southeastern B.C.
Two boys ended up in the river near the Takkakaw Falls on Friday evening while visiting Yoho National Park with their family.
One of them was quickly rescued, but the other was swept downstream, Parks Canada spokeswoman Tania Peters said.
Dwight Bordin, also of Parks Canada, said helicopters were continuing to monitor the area on Monday after an extensive search on the weekend.
