Two people died and one person was reported missing after a boating incident in Squamish, B.C., during floods.

What it means

This is a breaking-news report from Nov 13, 2026, about a boating accident on the Squamish River in British Columbia during severe flooding. The RCMP initially stated that two people died and one was missing after their boat was overwhelmed by fast-moving, debris-filled floodwater; five others were rescued. Within hours, the missing person was also found dead, raising the official death toll to three.

Accuracy & sourcesGrounded

The claim is solid as an initial police advisory, reported by The Globe and Mail and corroborated by multiple outlets such as CBC, Global News, and CTV. The RCMP (primary source) updated the death toll to three later the same day, so the 'two dead, one missing' figure is accurate only for the first wave of reporting.
