The man was located just before 4 am on Monday. He was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure.
“Despite the temperature hovering below freezing and the difficult terrain, everyone worked through the night with the goal of bringing this man home, and we are thankful to have been able to do just that,” Sergeant Ben Comley of the Grand Bay-Westfield RCMP said.
