  • Man in weekend drowning found safe: Chilliwack RCMP

Mounties in Chilliwack say a man who was thought to have drowned on Saturday morning has been found safe.

A statement from the R-C-M-P says they were called to the Vedder River just before 11 a-m after a man was heard screaming for help and then going silent.

First responders, including search and rescue, found two fishing rods and a green toque in the water near where the screams were heard but did not find a person.

Police say the man called R-C-M-P that evening and told them he was safe and was able to get himself off the river. (The Canadian Press)
