Winnipeg Folk Fest organizers warn of laced gel-cap mushrooms circulating festival grounds
Winnipeg Folk Fest organizers are warning concertgoers about a substance circulating the festival grounds after a dozen people experienced an "adverse reaction" and sought first-aid help after taking it on Thursday and Friday. In a Saturday press release, the festival's first-aid team urged attendees to avoid gel-cap mushrooms, as something that caused dizziness and fainting may have been added to them. Folk Fest's website said guests who plan to use substances at the festival should test them before they arrive, drug-checking services are not available on site. People that choose to drink or use drugs during Folk Fest are encouraged to stay hydrated and moderate consumption, the website said. Organizers said none of the affected festivalgoers were hospitalized.

Paddleboarders taken to hospital after water rescue on Ottawa River
An Ottawa Fire Services water rescue boat is seen in this undated image. (Dave Charbonneau/CTV News Ottawa) A pair of paddleboarders were transported to hospital after being pulled from the Deschênes Rapids on the Ottawa River Saturday afternoon. The Ottawa Fire Services say they received a 911 call from a resident at 3:12 p.m. reporting two people on paddleboards halfway down the rapids. On arrival, a water rescue crew found two people in the water. It's unclear if they were wearing personal flotation devices. Both were rescued shortly before 3:25 p.m. An Ottawa paramedics spokesperson says two people were transported by ambulance to hospital in stable condition. It comes just over 24 hours after another paddleboarder was pulled from the same rapids on Friday afternoon. Ottawa Fire Services have been reminding residents to always wear a personal flotation device and to be extra cautious in the river. 'This incident is a reminder of the risks associated with water activities and the importance of always wearing a personal flotation device,' said Ottawa Fire Service public information officer Nick Defazio on Friday. The Deschênes Rapids have been a common area for water rescue calls this summer. With files from CTV News Ottawa's Ted Raymond
