Close Call For Mountie and Conservation Officer

A conservation officer and a Mountie are said to be OK after falling through some ice near Cumberland House Friday night.
RCMP Corporal Brian Jones says both officers fell through the ice while travelling in the area by snowmobile.
Neither person was hurt, although the two were stranded for awhile after making a call for their rescue by satellite phone.
It turns out the two were looking over a stretch of a disputed snowmobile trail in the region.
It’s the same one that trappers in the area say will ruin their trap lines.
