Student cyclist airlifted to hospital after collision in Mississauga school parking lot
Bruce Campbell, spokesperson for the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board, told CBC News that the student, 15, was riding his bike when he was hit by a car on school property.
"We pray for our student and for a complete recovery from his injuries," Campbell said.
Peel police said in a statement that the student's injuries are considered serious, but he was conscious and breathing. His parents were notified of the incident and he was taken to hospital before being airlifted to a trauma centre, police said.
The driver remained at the scene, police said.
Campbell said many students at the school would have seen the incident and the response from emergency crews as it happened before the start of the school day.
"This will be upsetting for some and we have encouraged those who may need support to connect with any member of the school's administration team or student support services team," he said.

Man hospitalized with significant injuries after grizzly bear attack in B.C.
A man was hospitalized with significant injuries following a grizzly bear attack near Creston, B.C., conservation officers say. The B.C. Conservation Officer Service (BCCOS) said in a social media post that the attack happened around 4:30 p.m. Saturday when a husband and wife were riding e-bikes along the Kootenay River near West Creston in southeast B.C. The service said the wife heard her husband scream and saw a grizzly bear running at her. She used bear spray and then realized a second bear was attacking her husband. The wife used bear spray again and both bears ran off, according to the BCCOS. "Emergency services were called, and the man was transported to hospital in Cranbrook by ambulance, where he underwent surgery," the BCCOS said. According to the service, conservation officers swept the area after the attack and didn't locate the bears. They closed three major trails in the area, installed signage and set up traps on Saturday night, but no bears were captured. The BCCOS is still searching for the grizzlies as of Saturday afternoon, according to the social media post. It says trails in the area will be closed until further notice.

Montreal police are investigating the death of a 52-year-old man on Sunday in Montreal's Saint-Léonard borough. Earlier in the day, police said the death was considered suspicious but later confirmed it was a homicide. It is believed that there was a break-in at a residence at around 4:30 a.m. near where the victim was found, said Montreal police spokesperson Caroline Chèvrefils. A suspect, a 31-year-old man, was arrested nearby in connection with break-in and transported to an investigation centre for questioning, Chèvrefils said. He was scheduled to appear by videoconference at the Court of Quebec on Sunday afternoon. Chèvrefils stated that the break-in could possibly be related to the man's death, but that it is too early to confirm. The investigation is ongoing and no arrest has yet been made in connection with the homicide. This is the 23rd homicide in Montreal since the beginning of the year.
