Men found early Friday in a remote muskeg area

RCMP say 3 men who went missing in northern Saskatchewan earlier this week have been found safe.

In a statement asking for the public's help early Friday, RCMP said the men had embarked on a foraging trip Wednesday and hadn't been seen since.

A later statement said an RCMP plane spotted the men in a remote muskeg area in the Jayjay Lake area early Friday morning. A Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) helicopter was then used to pick up them up.

RCMP say the men were assessed by EMS and not believed to have any serious injuries.
