GILLIES LAKE, Ont. — Two people escaped injury after a small float plane crashed in northern Bruce Peninsula.

Transport Canada and the Ministry of Environment have been called to look into the crash on Gillies Lake around 4 p.m. Tuesday.

Provincial police say the 1946 Fleet Canuck float plane flipped while landing on the lake, about 100 kilometres north of Owen Sound.

The 69-year-old pilot from the Bruce Peninsula and a 14-year-old passenger from Corunna, Ont., were rescued by boat by people on shore.
