Halifax Regional Police says search crews have found Kaur’s cellphone and life-jacket, but they are still searching for the missing woman.
Searchers have been using rescue boats with side-scan sonar to scour the lake while drones have been flying over the area.
Police said Tuesday morning that Kaur’s disappearance is still being treated as a missing person investigation and the search is ongoing.
Kaur is described as a South Asian female with a slim build and long dark hair. She is about five-feet-tall.
She was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, black pants, and white and black sneakers.
Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to contact them at 902-490-5020 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
