the statement says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;RCMP officers are at various points on the Haines Highway, please speak to them before entering the area.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 10, 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Canadian Press<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ca.news.yahoo.com\/mounties-search-snowmobiler-missing-northwestern-193719812.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mounties search for snowmobiler missing in northwestern B.C. https:\/\/ca.news.yahoo.com\/mounties-search-snowmobiler-missing-northwestern-193719812.html Publish Date: 2026-05-10 15:42:00 ATLIN \u2014&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":68049,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/q3tKDm4MAyiuQJP8CLIkcA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTEyMDA7aD03NzI7Y2Y9d2VicA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cp_news_842\/ac13ad5b4f3c07045faca248c84ba24b","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-68048","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-canada"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canada.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68048"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canada.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canada.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canada.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canada.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68048"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/canada.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68048\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":68050,"href":"https:\/\/canada.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68048\/revisions\/68050"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canada.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68049"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canada.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68048"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canada.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68048"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canada.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68048"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
