Two kayakers rescued from Lake Nipissing after they capsized under heavy waves

North Bay OPP had to help a man from the waters of Lake Nipissing after two kayaks capsized.  On Monday afternoon, rough waters and large waves caused two kayakers to capsize about 150 metres from shore near the Marina.  When police arrived, one of the men didn’t need help, but the second man was further out from shore and exhausted so officers needed to pull him from the water.  Both the 51-year old from Kirkland, Quebec and the 23-year-old from North Bay were wearing life jackets and as a result, neither was injured or needed medical attention.
