The crash involved a Cessna U206G float aircraft operated by Sandy Lake Seaplane and occurred around 6:50 p.m., Chief Delores Kakegamic announced on social media early Friday morning.
“There will be an official investigation and the crash site has been secured,” she wrote, saying the chief and council would share further details as they became available.
In a statement issued Friday, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada said it was deploying a team to investigate the incident.
