A tragic boating accident occurred at Heart Lake Conservation Area on Saturday night, resulting in the death of one individual after a canoe overturned, prompting significant emergency response.

Peel Regional Police reported receiving a distress call at approximately 9:30 p.m. regarding individuals in trouble on the lake. Emergency personnel, including the Fire Department, rapidly mobilized for a search and rescue operation.

While responders found a woman who had been in the canoe, her male companion was reported missing, necessitating an extensive overnight search effort.
