Float plane pilot saves three men after canoe capsizes in frigid lake
The Province
A quick-thinking Harbour Air pilot is being credited with saving the lives of three hypothermic boaters on Whistler, British Columbia's, frigid Green Lake.
Pilot Chris Cameron was getting ready to take off from Green Lake when off in the distance he saw three people struggling in the water after their canoe capsized.
The three were more than 150 meters from shore and thrashing aimlessly in the frigid glacier-fed lake when Cameron pulled the single engine Otter up to help.
