First day of summer brings sobering reminder for boaters
Boats docked on the water in Georgina, Ont., on Fri., June 20, 2025. The first official day of summer means boating season is well underway and York Regional Police (YRP) and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) are doing their part in reminding the public to not drink and drive, including on the water. 'It's important to raise awareness about being impaired by drugs or alcohol and operating a vehicle, whether it's a boat or a car, is still catastrophic when there are crashes,' said Rebecca Blight, president MADD York Region. YRP and MADD have once again partnered up and put signs under bridges on waterways to remind boaters to not drive impaired.

(CTV News/Luke Simard) 'The sign that's under the bridge reminds boaters to do two things, one call 911 if they suspect that there's an impaired boater, and to remind boaters not to consume alcohol or drugs prior to getting into a boat or while they're operating a boat,' said Russ Bellman, superintendent of support services for YRP. Blight added rules are the same for drivers and boaters. 'People think that when they're on a boat the laws really don't apply to them - it's still the same, you still are impaired, whether it's drugs or alcohol,' said Blight. 'It can be more dangerous to do that because you're on a body of water.' Blight added that impaired driving creates a ripple effect that touches entire families and communities. 'It's not just that person that's involved, it's their mother, their sister, their sister's friend, their best friend, their dad, their dad's friend,' said Blight. YRP Impaired Boating Campaign Members of York Regional Police and M.A.D.D. stand in front of the R.I.D.E. YRP vehicle on Fri., June 20, 2025. (CTV News/Luke Simard) YRP is reminding all boaters be proactive when it comes to safety on the water. 'Wear an approved life-jacket, have the right safety equipment on, tell people when you're out on the water, tell somebody where you're going, and when you're going to be back,' said Bellman. Officers will be patrolling Lake Simcoe, cracking down on boaters under the influence this summer. Police remind the public that on the water, the rules are the same as on the road — if you boat impaired, you'll face the same serious charges as impaired driving.

Man shot by police officer inside Markham condo unit has died, SIU says
Police say a male who was "actively attacking" a female was shot by police in Markham early Wednesday morning. (Courtney Heels/ CP24) A 34-year-old man shot by a police officer in a condo unit in Markham earlier this week has died, the province's police watchdog says. The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said in an update on Friday that the man died in the hospital this morning. The agency is investigating the incident that occurred at a condo building near Highway 7 and Village Parkway, east of Warden Avenue, on Wednesday morning. According to the SIU, York Regional Police (YRP) officers received a call from a resident who reported hearing a dispute from another unit. When officers arrived, they 'heard sounds of disturbance from inside,' the SIU said. After entering the unit, one officer, the SIU said, fired his gun once, striking a man. He was subsequently taken to the hospital, the SIU said. YRP previously said the man was 'actively' attacking a woman at the time of the shooting. An SIU spokesperson told reporters at the scene on Wednesday that early information from police suggests the woman suffered stab wounds. The woman was also taken to the hospital with serious injuries. The SIU said she remains in the hospital in stable condition. In Friday's news release, the SIU said investigators have recovered a police-issued firearm and a knife at the scene. The agency has designated one subject official and three witness officials to the case. The SIU is called in to investigate any time police are involved in an incident that results in death, serious injuries, allegations of sexual assault, and/or the discharge of a firearm at a person.
