Alberta RCMP confirmed in an update on Saturday that one pilot and five passengers aboard a plane died after a late night crash in Kananaskis Country, Alta., about 100 km west of Calgary.

The aircraft left Springbank Airport near Calgary around 9:30 p.m. en route to Salmon Arm, B.C., for a church function. Crews found the plane Saturday morning roughly five km north of Kananaskis Village. Staff Sgt. Ryan R.J. Singleton said there were no survivors and did not release the victims' names.

“As you can imagine, recovering the bodies of the pilot and the passengers was very challenging due to the difficult terrain. However, all six bodies have been successfully recovered as the Transport Safety Board of Canada is conducting this investigation,” Singleton said.

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) said in an earlier release that it deployed a team of investigators to Kananaskis Village for what they're calling an accident involving a Piper PA32.
