Peel Regional Police has since told CP24 that officers attended a “call for service” near Dundas Street West and Erin Mills Parkway at approximately 11:30 a.m. for a reported drowning.

A media officer would only confirm that a child was transported to a local hospital.

“We have no further information to provide at this time and ask that the privacy of the family be respected during this difficult time,” Const. Laurie McCann wrote in an email.

More details to come. This is a developing story.
