On July 9, 2024, at approximately 9:45 pm, The Pas RCMP received an iPhone satellite emergency call reporting injuries from a boat collision on Frog Creek, south of Cormorant. An adult female was seriously injured.
RCMP officers, aided by a local guide and two paramedics, navigated through 10 kilometers of Cormorant Lake and another 10 kilometers of Frog Creek in near darkness. They found a 30-foot commercial fishing boat, loaded with ice and fish, stranded on land after hitting an underwater object.
A 34-year-old woman and a 42-year-old man were injured. The rescue team transported them 20 kilometers back to the Cormorant boat launch, then to a hospital in The Pas where they were treated and released. The team later returned to retrieve the uninjured crew members.
