Emergency crews were called out to the Bear Creek Provincial Park area for a potential drowning early Saturday afternoon.
Central Okanagan Search and Rescue (COSAR) was part of those efforts, deploying marine and air resources in an effort to locate a missing individual.
“Unfortunately, due to uncertainty about the exact location of the incident, a reliable search area could not be established,” a COSAR debrief explained.
“After assessing the available information, RCMP made the decision to suspend the search pending additional information that may help better define the search area.”
KelownaNow has reached out to the RCMP and will update this story when more information becomes available.
COSAR was also called to Mara Lake around the same time today to assist Shuswap Search and Rescue with an ongoing search for another potential drowning victim on Mara Lake.
No further details were provided on that search.
