Our thoughts are with the woman’s family at this difficult time.

With the assistance of RCMP Air Services, RCMP Police Dog Services, RCMP Under Water Recovery Team, the Canadian Coast Guard and ground search and rescue teams from Sheet Harbour, Eastern Shore, Musquodoboit Valley and Halifax, the search to locate 3-year-old Lucas Robert Cooper continues.
