Police are asking for the public's help after receiving a report of a missing boater in Lakeshore.
The Ontario Provincial Police said on Sunday at around 3:34 p.m., a kayaker came across a small vessel on a sandbar in Lake St. Clair near Lakeshore Park Road. The kayaker noticed that the boat was unoccupied and contacted police.
