2 men killed in boating accident in Sturgeon Lake: OPP
Two men are dead following a boating accident on Sturgeon lake on June 8. Two men are dead following a boating accident in the Kawartha Lakes region on Sunday afternoon. The incident happened on Sturgeon Lake, which is roughly 155 kilometres northeast of Toronto. Emergency responders were called to that area shortly after 3 p.m. after receiving reports of a canoe carrying three males that had capsized. In a news release, the OPP's Kawartha Lakes Detachment said one of the males was able to make his way to the shore, however two others were 'unable to remain afloat and succumbed to their injuries.' They added that there were no life jackets in the boat. The local OPP, including its Marine Unit, along with City of Kawartha Lakes Fire and EMS, and the OPP's Aviation team were involved in the lifesaving and recovery efforts. 'With capsized vessels and falling overboard the top contributing factors in boating deaths every year, a significant number of lives stand to be saved if boaters, personal watercraft users and paddlers wore a lifejacket or personal floatation device,' said the OPP, which patrols more than 110,000 square kilometres of Ontario's waterways.

Families in Ottawa got a rare look inside some of the city's biggest and most intricate fleet vehicles in a unique twist on 'Doors Open Ottawa'. CTV's Camille W The City of Ottawa's annual Public Works Big Wheels Expo was held Saturday at the Ottawa Stadium. Kids and 'big kids' got to check out the City of Ottawa's front loaders, street sweepers, an interactive traffic signal display, and a hydraulic crane truck. 'This is a wonderful opportunity for our teams to showcase the work we do, the equipment we use for this work to our public. We love seeing all the kids and the families out here,' said Bryden Denyes, area manager for road services at City of Ottawa The event was part of Doors Open Ottawa, where the public is able to have a peak inside parts of the city that are often closed to the outside. 'It's great just to have somewhere to bring kids where they can bring some energy, learn some new things, touch everything, have new experiences. It's awesome. They can learn about what these vehicles do for the city as well,' said Britany Caron, attending with her son. The public even had an opportunity to climb into the driver's seat and check out the inside. 'Pretty fun. I did a lot of the switches, and I loved the buttons,' said Leo, who was having fun at the expo with his parents. The expo was there to show kids all the possibilities of what they can be in the future and hopefully broaden their imagination. Many children have miniature versions of these big rides at home but now get to see how big they really are. 'Our residents' families can come out and see a snowplow. They can see our forestry teams, what equipment they use for that, how we paint roads, how we pick up garbage,' said Denyes. City staff and support people were on site to explain how the work is done and to answer all their questions and provide information.
