WHITECOURT, Alta. - Alberta first responders are trying to figure out how to pluck four Mounties off a remote island in northwestern Alberta.
The four were on a boat on the Athabasca River about 35 kilometres northwest of Whitecourt when it overturned around lunchtime.
The Whitecourt fire department says the officers clung to the boat for some time before they got to the island.
The department says the four are OK.
Officials with Alberta Environment are trying to determine the best way to get the four off the island.
It could be by helicopter or by boat, and an official with the fire department says it will take some time to determine that.
It's not known what the officers were doing on the boat or what type of boat they were on.
