On Sunday, Shediac RCMP said officers are continuing to seek help from the public to locate Bourgeois. 'The RCMP Underwater Recovery Team and Ground Search and Rescue teams have been searching tirelessly the last couple of days and have covered a lot of area with no success,' said Cpl. Mathieu Daigle in a news release. 'At this time, these teams have concluded their searches but will continue to follow up on any leads we may receive.' 'We're hopeful' Family members of Bourgeois contacted the Canadian Coast Guard on Thursday around 3 p.m., saying he went out in a yellow kayak but did not return. On Friday, Bourgeois' cousin Chloe Allain told CTV News his kayak and life jacket were found near Caissie-Cape sometime Thursday.
