The OPP say three people were forced to swim for over an hour after their canoe capsized in Lake Huron a few days ago.
Thankfully, the trio were wearing lifejackets.
South Bruce OPP say the incident happened off Boiler Beach Road in Huron-Kinloss, just after 8:30 p.m. last Friday.
“Three individuals were reported overdue by family on Lake Huron. Police launched a search for the individuals and determined their canoe had capsized causing them to swim for over an hour,” the OPP say in a release.
First responders managed to find them on the water and bring them to shore. One of the three was taken to hospital as a precaution.
The Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre, OPP Emergency Response Team, Huron-Kinloss Fire and Bruce County EMS assisted in the response to the marine incident. South Bruce OPP credits the Kincardine Volunteer Coastguard Auxiliary Unit for making the rescue.
