A 26-year-old Calgary man living in Vernon, B.C. is presumed drowned after he became separated from his friends while kayaking last month.
Eli Buruca was kayaking Kalamalka Lake near Coldstream and Vernon with two friends on the evening of July 24.
His family, with the assistance of RCMP, and Vernon Search and Rescue have scoured the lake for nearly two weeks, with no luck.“We've been going out every single day doing our own kind of checks,” said Buruca’s sister Nidia Buruca-Majano. “The saying of people who take their shirt off their back and give it to you, he was very much that person,” she said.Buruca-Majano says her brother was kind hearted and had recently moved to Vernon in February for a construction job, that entailed dry walling, taping and framing.
