7 · OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday, July 15, 2009 Canoeing students rescued on Lake Ontario By Tina Depko OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF A group of children had a more adventurous day at Appleby College summer camp than they likely expected on Monday, when they had to be rescued by police while canoeing on Lake Ontario. Twelve children between the ages of 10 and 12 and two adults were on an excursion on Lake Ontario in six canoes and one aluminum boat Monday morning when windy conditions and the current pushed the group approximately 1.5 miles offshore. Instructors' quick thinking kept the boats together when they reallocated the boaters and "The instructors latched the ized they couldn't get back returned them safely to to shore, according to vessels together and were Oakville Harbour. successful in flagging down Halton Regional Police.

The children were taking part in the advenThe Halton Regional Police Marine Unit ture pursuits camp run by Appleby College. Canoeing is a regular part of this camp and there has never been a problem in the 12 years it has been operating, according to Paula Kozbial, media relations with Appleby College. "The instructors have 25 years experience doing this (canoeing)," she said. "We'll definitely offer it again. This wasn't a cause to change the programming." Once the campers were rescued Monday morning, they spent the rest of the day at camp. The instructors informed parents individually of the morning misadventure when they arrived to pick up their children at the end of the day. 25th Anniversary of Hyundai of Oakville! 10 MODELS THURSDAY 2 ONLY AT HYUNDAI OF OAKVILLE 5 JULY 8-18TH JOIN US 7 6 SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY 1Canada Day 10 SALE DAYS!
