Boy rescued from river after leaving schoolground
A Fort Garry school community is reeling after a six-year-old boy went missing during recess on Tuesday and was found wading into the Red River — a “close call” emergency responders say could have ended in tragedy if not for a police boat’s lucky timing.
Oakenwald School staff called local police around 11:30 a.m. to report a child had fled the playground, located steps from Wildwood Park and about five blocks west of the major waterway.
