NEW opp police

A search of Lake Nipissing, in the Callander Bay area, is underway for a missing 29 year old man from Brazil.

OPP received a call just before 3 pm yesterday that a man went swimming off a boat about a kilometre from shore, began having difficulty swimming due to the power waves and went under the water.

Police say he did not resurface.

An extensive search was conducted by the Powassan OPP and North Bay OPP Marine Unit.  That search continues today with the OPP Underwater Search and Recovery Unit assisting.
