CULTUS LAKE — Emergency crews in Cultus Lake have been paged out a few times after two drowning deaths and one non-emergency call this past week.

Scanner traffic reported a possible drowning in the Sunnyside area at around 7:15 p.m. Saturday (Aug. 30). An air ambulance was called in to a nearby school, with multiple emergency personnel at the campground.

An anonymous BCEHS source confirmed the fatality with Fraser Valley Today, as well as a non-emergency medical call that caused some panic on Sunday (Aug. 31).

The source explained that there was a large response due to the size of the group involved. No one was taken to hospital, and there were no injuries, deaths or threats to life during that event.

These calls come after a man drowned at Entrance Bay in Cultus Lake Thursday (Aug. 28).
