B.C. camper heard yelling in the woods not in distress, just singing Nickelback
Article content Nothing like a good, old-fashioned Nickel-back country singalong to launch search and rescue crews into action. Article content On Thursday evening, the Central Okanagan Search and Rescue crew were out training when they received reports of someone yelling for help near the Boulderfields, a climbing spot near the Kettle Valley Railway. Article content Article content Two hikers had contacted 911 after hearing what sounded like 'repeated cries.' The crew immediately switched from training to rescue mode, activating its drone team along with two RCMP officers. Article content Article content The first members of the crew who arrived at the Boulderfields could hear 'faint yelling – but couldn't make out what was being said,' according to a post online by the search team. Article content The crew had split into two teams and was prepping to search the woods and the forest roads when team members found the source of the yelling: A man camping alone who had been belting out Nickelback's greatest hits. Article content The camper was 'singing his heart out to the trees, blissfully unaware that the acoustics of the Boulderfields had turned his tent-side concert into an accidental distress signal,' according to the team. Article content 'He wasn't in trouble,' said search manager Duane Tresnich. 'Unless you count his singing.' Article content The team thanked the hikers who called it in, adding that while Thursday evening's incident turned out to be nothing more than a camper in need of singing lessons, 'it could have been serious.' Article content 'And remember, our services are always free. And the money you save could be spent on singing lessons.' Article content Article content

Three months later, little information on missing N.S. children
Jack and Lilly Sullivan, who were reported missing from their home in Nova Scotia's Pictou County on May 2, 2025, are pictured. Saturday marks three months since Lilly Sullivan, 6, and Jack Sullivan, 4, disappeared from their home in Lansdowne Station, N.S. RCMP says there are no new updates on the case as they declined an interview request with CTV News on Friday – and declined to answer any questions via email. The force referred CTV News to its July 16 news release, which said about 5,000 video files were being reviewed, more than 600 public tips were being assessed and at least 60 people have been interviewed – some undergoing a polygraph test. RCMP also said officers were 'submitting judicial authorizations to seize and examine materials and devices that may provide information useful to the investigation.' 'That tells me in itself that they suspect that there's a crime involved,' says CTV News Public Safety Analyst Chris Lewis. 'They must have some grounds to believe that it's a crime, other than just the fact that they've never been able to find them any other way.' The children's mother and stepfather told police they last saw Lilly inside the home and could hear Jack that morning. It is believed the siblings may have wandered into the woods, but there has been no sign of them since they were reported missing. Police previously confirmed Lilly and Jack were with family members the afternoon of May 1. 'A police service never gives up on a case like this,' says Lewis, the former commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Police. 'It may get a little colder, with no new leads or nothing more to follow up. But over time, you take another look at it. You balance it all out in terms of the latest technology and forensics, and you get fresh eyes looking at it. 'That's never going to end,' he says. During a video news conference on July 16, Cpl. Carlie McCann told reporters that a pink blanket was located and seized the day the children were reported missing. 'It was outside and found near Lilly and Jack's home. The family has confirmed that the blanket belonged to Lilly,' said McCann. 'Police are investigating if and how it relates to her and her brother's disappearance.'

(Nova Scotia Department of Justice) When asked by a reporter what police believe happened to the children, McCann would only say 'police are investigating every aspect of this.' 'We're receiving a number of tips from the public and we're following up on all of those tips,' she added. Meanwhile, Lewis says it could be a missed opportunity when police declined to comment on the three-month anniversary of the children's disappearance. 'I find that rather odd that they wouldn't put someone before the camera to at least help bring some attention to it from a public perspective,' he tells CTV News. 'But then again, we don't know what else they have going on in terms of their ability to get somebody before a camera.' -With files from CTV's Andrea Jerrett For more Nova Scotia news, visit our dedicated provincial page

Woman, infant severely injured after being struck by pickup truck in Eskasoni
An Eskasoni, N.S., man is facing multiple charges after a woman and infant were left severely injured after being struck by a pickup truck on Friday. According to a news release from the RCMP, emergency services responded to Gabriel Street in Eskasoni at 1:40 p.m. AT after receiving a report that a pickup truck had struck a woman and infant on the sidewalk. The driver drove off, police say. The pedestrians, a 25-year-old women and an infant, both from Eskasoni, were taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, according to the release. Police located the truck nearby and determined that the driver had fled on foot. The 34-year-old driver was later located and arrested. Earlier that morning, at approximately 7:55 a.m., Eskasoni RCMP had responded to a report of a possible impaired driver involving the same pickup truck. A search for the vehicle was unsuccessful. The man has been charged with failure to stop after an accident causing bodily harm and two counts of dangerous operation causing bodily harm. He remains in custody pending an appearance in Sydney provincial court on Monday. The current condition of the victims has not been released.
