A float-equipped DHC-2 MK1, operated by True North Airways Inc. was departing Pilgrim Lake, Ontario with 5 people on board. Shortly after getting airborne the pilot elected to abort the take-off, as the aircraft was approaching the shoreline and the rising terrain sooner than he had expected. During the landing, while maneuvering through a narrow section of the lake, it was reported that the left wing-tip struck a tree. The aircraft touched down on the remaining lake, which widened out after the narrow section, but the aircraft ran aground and struck trees at the end of the lake. There were no injuries, but the aircraft received substantial damage to the floats and leading edges of the wings.
