Fatalities are being reported as the result of a plane crash in Mistastin Lake in northern Labrador.
The aircraft was carrying seven people: a pilot, two guides and four passengers.
The plane, a de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver was en route to a remote fishing camp in Labrador when it was reported overdue last night.
It had departed a fishing lodge at Crossroads Lake, 60 miles east of Schefferville, yesterday morning and was reported overdue in the evening.
Major Mark Gough says the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax dispatched a Hercules to the scene, which verified the crash site this morning.
Mistastin Lake is an ancient crater site in remote Labrador with an island in the centre. The lake is famous for its Arctic Char, but depending on wind conditions can be very choppy.
The Canadian Transport Safety Board has been contacted and will launch an investigation.
VOCM News is tracking the story and will have more information as it becomes available.
