A two-year-old boy is in hospital after falling into a backyard pool Saturday (June 3).
The incident occurred around 9:30 a.m. on Ashbury Road, in the area of Dorval Drive and Speers Road.
Reports indicate the child was pulled from the pool and a family member performed CPR before Oakville firefighters, Halton police and Halton Region paramedics arrived.
The child was rushed to a hospital, but was conscious and alert, according to reports.
Halton police are investigating.
This incident comes just one week after a three-year-old boy drowned in a backyard pool in Oakville, just a couple kilometres from where this latest incident occurred.
