Last week the La Ronge RCMP were advised of two missing mushroom pickers who were located by CASARA searchers the following day following a ground and air search. They are still searching for a mushroom picker who went missing July 18th near Big Sandy Lake.
Northern Saskatchewan members of the RCMP report they are seeing an increase in activity in remote areas due to the mushroom and berry picking season. The remind anyone venturing out to not go into areas you are unfamiliar with as you can get turned around in large bush areas whether or not there are marked trails, tell someone when and where you are going and when you expect to return, wear proper clothing, take sufficient survival supplies with you and consider getting a satellite device as cellular phones do not work in many of the remote areas.
