One person has died after drowning at Sauble Beach.
On August 27 just before 4 p.m., South Bruce OPP, Bruce County Paramedic Services and the South Bruce Peninsula Fire Department responded to a report of two individuals in distress swimming in Lake Huron.
One of the individuals was safely pulled ashore, while the other was brought ashore and had life-saving measures performed on them.
Unfortunately, the life-saving measures were unsuccessful, and a 22-year-old from Mississauga was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The Grey Bruce OPP wants to thank all by-standers for the assistance with the rescue of these individuals.
The OPP encourages all Ontarians to take personal responsibility for ensuring water safety for themselves and their children. It is important for everyone to be aware of proper boating and swimming practices.
