Two three-year-old children died within five days of each other this past May in Ajax and Oakville, both the victims of rare backyard pool drownings.

The Canadian Drowning Prevention Coalition reports that more than 400 Canadians die from drowning annually. There have been 19 drownings in Quebec so far this year.
