The body of a Calgary man has been recovered from the Peace River in northeast British Columbia, nearly two months after he was swept away while fishing.
In a social-media post, the family of Aaron Kingma says his body was spotted Tuesday by a family living along the Peace River near Hudson’s Hope, west of Fort St. John.
The 39-year-old was fishing in that area on May 29 when he was pulled under by a strong current.
The post says the RCMP have positively identified the body.
The family is now making arrangements to return Mr. Kingma’s body to Calgary.
He leaves his wife and two daughters, aged 9 and 1.
