Man‘s body pulled from Lake Winnipeg

The body of a 62-year-old man was found in Lake Winnipeg Sunday, Gimli RCMP say.
On Sunday morning, Gimli RCMP and the Manitoba RCMP Marine Unit responded following a report of an abandoned boat in open water near Willow Island, south of Gimli.
The Manitoba RCMP Marine Unit and Manitoba RCMP Underwater Recovery Unit were deployed to the scene and officers were told by local Coast Guard authorities that a wallet and cellphone were located on the boat, but there were no occupants.
A few hours later, searchers found the body of the man, who was the sole occupant of the boat.

Small plane crash near Dugald under investigation: TSB
10:24 AM
Canada’s Transportation Safety Board is investigating after a small plane crashed near Dugald on Saturday.
The crash involved a privately registered Quad City Challenger II ultralight aircraft. It happened about 20 kilometres east of Winnipeg in the Rural Municipality of Springfield, a release from the agency said.
The aircraft collided with terrain in a field near Dugald at approximately 10:50 a.m. The pilot was the sole occupant on board, the Transportation Safety Board said.
A Manitoba RCMP spokesperson said Oakbank RCMP responded to a small plane crash at around 11 a.m. on Saturday, and expected more details to be made public later on Sunday morning.
The Challenger II has a capacity for one crew member and one passenger.
There have been no reports of injuries or fatalities at this time.
