Hikers lose their way on mountain, call for help
A Sûreté du Québec helicopter had to be called in to rescue four hikers stuck on a cliff on Mont Saint-Hilaire overnight.
The two men and two women are all aged between 20 and 23.
They called for help at around 10:40 p.m.
Emergency workers were able to spot them because of the light from their mobile phones.
All four are safe and sound.
