the float-equipped Nueltin Lake Air Service Cessna 180J, C-GIOE, was en route to Nueltin Lake, NU from Grace Lake, MB with a re-fueling stop at Leaf Rapids, MB. On landing, a float dug into the water and the aircraft nosed in and overturned in the water. The pilot was able to climb onto a float. The passenger, who is also the owner of the air service, was snagged by his seat belt but was able to partially exit from the aircraft and get his head above water. The pilot was unable to cut the passenger free. Rescuers arrived from the shore and freed the passenger. Both had hypothermia but only minor injuries which were treated at the Leaf Rapids Health Center.
