Ontario Provincial Police say a seven-year-old boy called 911 to report his dissatisfaction with receiving snow pants as a Christmas gift.
Sgt. Kerry Schmidt says the boy made the call at about 8 a.m. on Tuesday to complain about the gift.
He says officers ensured there wasn’t an actual emergency at the boy’s home.
