Saskatoon committee proposes pond safety recommendations after 5-year-old’s death
SASKATOON — A Saskatoon city committee studying pond safety following a five-year-old boy’s death is proposing a fence be built to separate a nearby school from the park.
Kindergarten student Ahmedsadiq Elmmi was found in the pond near Ecole Dundonald School after recess ended one morning last September.
The boy was pronounced dead in hospital.
The committee suggests a wrought-iron fence just over a metre high be built on the school side of the park pathway.
