Many of them were visiting the mountain town to take part in a weekend minor hockey tournament. A spokesperson for Emergency Health Services says paramedics, including multiple ambulances, responded to the Canmore Inn and Suites at around 11 a.m. on Sunday, prompting health officials to declare a “mass casualty incident.” The town of Canmore said when emergency crews arrived, there were approximately 30 children in the pool area of the hotel who were experiencing symptoms of illness, such as vomiting. The area was evacuated and a triage centre set up near the hotel lobby, where paramedics treated the children. The mass casualty incident was cancelled, but 10 children were sent to the hospital in Canmore for further treatment, while one was taken to the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary. Jennifer Stevenson and her son Oliver were among those staying at the hotel for the tournament. “We had had breakfast, went down to the pool to get our last dip in before we checked out and go to the last game and it was busy, there was lots of teams there doing the same thing,” said Stevenson.
