At the time, it was reported he had left to go kayaking from the wharf in Pointe-du-Chene, but did not return.

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. His phone was also found, but his fishing gear and sandals were still missing at the time. A Facebook page called 'Bring Luc Home' has been created, with people sharing the latest on search efforts.
