A child is in critical condition following what the city is calling an emergency at an apartment complex pool in Winnipeg.
The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service was called to the swimming pool at the Concord Gardens apartment complex, in the 700 block of Louelda Street, just after 2 p.m.
A city spokesperson would only say crews responded to an “emergency involving one child” at the pool.
They said emergency crews provided medical care at the scene before the child was rushed to hospital in critical condition.
Winnipeg police were also called to help paramedics at the scene.
