As families across Manitoba make the most of warm weather, water safety remains a pressing concern, particularly for young children. Over 260,000 units recalled On Monday, Health Canada issued a recall for more than 260,000 above-ground swimming pools sold nationwide, following reports of nine child drownings in the United States. The pools, manufactured by Bestway, Intex Recreation, and Polygroup, were found to pose a serious hazard as built-in compression straps along the outside of the pool can act as footholds, allowing small children to climb in undetected. While no injuries have been reported in Canada, safety officials are urging families to act swiftly by either draining the pool or contacting the manufacturer for a free repair kit to replace the strap with a safer alternative. googletag.cmd.push(function() { if($(document).width()
