Anderson says Halton police have dealt with a number of drownings in the past couple of weeks.

On Wednesday, an elderly woman drowned after she and a young girl were pulled from a pool in Oakville. The 79-year-old grandmother died, while the four-year-old girl regained consciousness and was transported to McMaster Children’s Hospital in critical condition.

Earlier in July, a married couple was found dead after a car drove into the water at LaSalle Park Marina in Burlington.
