    Shawn Street is the coordinator of BOISAR. He says they searched the Lady Slipper Road area and the next couple of days they searched the Logger School Road area.

    Members of the Bay of Islands Volunteer Search and Rescue team sprang into action just before the weekend when the RCMP asked for help in the search for a missing Pynn’s Brook man. Joshua Legge was last seen April 27th and on Saturday, RCMP announced the man had been found. Shawn Street is the coordinator of BOISAR. He says they knew the man was missing and that Deer Lake Search and Rescue was looking for him. Street says they searched the Lady Slipper Road area and the next couple of days they searched the Logger School Road area. He says the man was in good condition and his truck had broken down. Street says it’s important to leave a trip plan with family or friends. He says always bring extra food and water, flashlights, emergency blankets and something to start a fire if heading into the woods.
