Canadian humanitarian missing after small plane crash in the Dominican Republic
A Canadian humanitarian worker is among three people missing after a small plane crashed off the north coast of the Dominican Republic.
Humanitarian organization Live Different, which is based in Hamilton, says long-time employee Benjamin Cole Brown was on board the aircraft with two Americans at the time of the crash.
The three were returning from Haiti where they had delivered donations and other aid to help local residents rebuild from a recent hurricane.
Brown, 36, was managing programs in the Dominican Republic and had lived abroad for nearly a decade.
