Search Continues for Two Boys Missing in Manitoba Provincial Park

Rescue teams in Manitoba are still looking for two boys who were swept away by fast-moving water at Nutimik Lake in Whiteshell Provincial Park. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) reported on Sunday afternoon that the boys, whose ages have not been released, entered the water and were carried off by strong currents. Despite an extensive search involving multiple agencies, including police, fire services, and water rescue teams, the boys remain missing. Whiteshell Provincial Park is a popular recreational area located about 130 kilometers east of Winnipeg, near the Ontario border. Nutimik Lake is known for its scenic beauty but can have dangerous currents, especially after periods of heavy rain or snowmelt. Authorities have warned the public to exercise caution near waterways, as conditions can change rapidly. The search effort continues, with crews using boats, drones, and ground teams to comb the area. The RCMP has not released further details about the boys or the circumstances leading up to the incident. Family members have been notified and are being supported by victim services. Local officials urge anyone with information to contact the RCMP. The community is holding out hope for a positive outcome as the search enters its next phase.
