Quebec doctors warn of sledding dangers as injuries soar
Description
January 15, 2021
The Montreal Children's hospital says sledding accidents continue soaring in the city. Despite a warning last week, accidents almost doubled. Most incidents are happening when kids slam into an object, usually sledding on a run they shouldn't be on. As Global’s Amanda Jelowicki reports, doctors are calling on both parents and municipalities for help.
