Haida Gwaii residents are being asked to avoid the Drill Main Forest Service Road, as rescue crews continue the search for a missing man.
69 year-old Richard Smith was reported missing on Wednesday, and was last seen picking mushrooms along the service road that morning.
Members of the Old Massett Fire Department were called in the next day and searched the area into the night to no avail.
They were joined the next day by Search and Rescue crews and members of both the Daajing Giids and Masset RCMP.
Smith is described as a 5 foot 7 inch First Nations man, weighing 143 pounds, with greying black hair and brown eyes.
Members of the public are being asked to avoid the area, but if you do spot Smith, contact Daajing Giids RCMP at 250 559 4421.
