The search for the four-year-old girl who went missing in a Quebec river on Friday is no longer a search and rescue operation but a recovery mission, provincial police say.

The child fell into the Mistassibi River in Dolbeau-Mistassini, Que. – about 240 kilometres north of Quebec City – on Friday afternoon after passing through a safety barrier along the riverbank while out sledding with her mother.


Spokesperson Sgt. Hugues Beaulieu says officers will continue to survey the riverbanks today while a nautical team monitors the river downstream.
