SAUBLE BEACH, Ont. —
Provincial police are urging people to use caution on waterways after three people died in Lake Huron this week.
The latest was a Mississauga man who died last night while swimming in rough waters at Sauble Beach.
An exchange student from France drowned Monday off the Kincardine shoreline, and a 10-year-old boy from Bosnia died Wednesday after a canoeing mishap on Georgian Bay.
Const. Dave Meyer says it's a disturbing trend and some caution can help prevent similar tragedies.
He says weak swimmers shouldn't venture out to a point in the lake where they can't touch bottom or beyond their ability to get back to shore.
He says people need to respect the conditions and realize that even though playing in the lake can be fun, it can also be very dangerous.
