Search for man in Back River

Rescue services are trying to find a man who fell through the ice in the Back River off Ste‑Geneviève on Thursday afternoon. His friend got out and is being treated for hypothermia, but he’s missing.

…As of midday Friday rescuers have not found the 18‑year‑old.

…Same as of midday Saturday. With the St Lawrence out front, we tend to forget that the Back River is a powerful waterway in its own right.
