The float-equipped DHC-3 Otter, with 9 people on board, was started up and was pushed away from the dock at Wrong Lake, MB. A gust of wind swung the aircraft around and the pilot applied engine power to try to compensate. The combined engine power and wind gust pushed the aircraft into some trees and onto some rocks. There were no injuries but the aircraft received substantial damage to the right float, right wing tip and propeller.
