Canada's transportation safety agency is seeking assistance in locating debris from a small plane crash in Ottawa last month.
On July 31, a Grunmman AA-5A aircraft with three people onboard crash landed in a wooded area along Riverside Drive near the Ottawa airport.
The pilot of the small plane died in the crash. Two others were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
In a post to social media Monday, the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) said it was looking for possible debris that fell along the plane's flight path.

'If you live along the flight path, check your land, pool and gutters for any foreign objects,' TSB said.
TSB provided a map of the plane's flight path and photos showing what the objects from the plane could look like. Some could be as small as a toonie.
The agency continues to investigate the crash.
