Six snowmobilers missing near Monts-Valin


 Six snowmobilers are missing north of the Saguenay, from the Monts-Valin.  The men left the La Chapelle relay around 9 a.m. Saturday morning to do an off-trail loop and did not return as planned for dinner.  At 8 p.m., the Sûreté du Québec was carrying out checks in order to plan a potential deployment.

 A report was made around 6 p.m. to the Sureté du Québec by the family of the missing.  According to information from the co-owner of the La Chapelle relay, Mylène Aubry, experienced snowmobilers could find themselves within a radius of five kilometers from Lac l'Abbé.

 “We are aware of the situation and are in the process of assessing preliminary information and doing checks to find out who they are and what route they are taking.  This will guide if we make a possible intervention, “commented Hélène St-Pierre, information officer at the Sûreté du Québec.


 The situation led to a major mobilization of citizens.  Snowmobilers have gone in search of the six people and some citizens are even offering aerial patrols.  Teams are currently patrolling the area alternately.  If the snowmobilers are still missing on Sunday morning, several enthusiasts have volunteered to carry out a search and at least two pilots have offered to fly over the search area.

 The fact that six snowmobilers are missing was first reported on the relay's Facebook page.  The publication had been relayed nearly 6,000 times at 9 p.m.
