OPP have positively identified the victim as 16-year-old Oksana MILOVANOVIC from Vertou, France.
“While our thoughts are with the MILOVANOVIC family at this time, we can’t lose sight of the water safety lesson that comes with this tragedy – swimmers have to respect the power of the water. We don’t want any more lives lost in Ontario waterways,†South Bruce OPP Detachment Commander Inspector Bill KLYM.
