Berry said the body of one person was found just before search efforts were called off Sunday night and there was extreme concern for the person who was still missing. The search had started at around 1 p.m. on Sunday.

?We always remain hopeful that we can find someone alive but because of the high flows of water and the cooler temperatures, we prepare our teams that it could potentially be a recovery,? Berry said earlier on Monday.

The accident happened at what is normally a ?pretty benign? section of Woods Creek where the trio had frequently crossed before, he said.

?Because of the amount of rain and snow the previous night, the creek was raging.?

Approximately 35 search and rescue members, along with RCMP and crews from the Campbell River and Oyster River fire departments took part in Sunday’s search.  Berry said swift water rescue teams from Comox and Campbell River resumed the search on Monday.

Saturday’s heavy rain also led to a landslide that damaged one home in Campbell River and briefly trapped two people in a house. 

The two seniors were rescued without injuries. Four homes in the area of the mudslide are under an evacuation order until experts can confirm the stability of the bank.

The City of Campbell River said it could be several days before an assessment of the slope is complete. Emergency social services is working to find the residents shelter and relocate livestock.
