According to the Calgary Fire Department, crews were called to Mahogany Beach at around 7:20 p.m. after receiving reports that a child had been pulled from the water. Firefighters, paramedics, and police officers quickly arrived at the scene and immediately began emergency medical treatment.
Officials said first responders performed lifesaving measures before the child was transported to hospital by emergency medical services. The child’s exact age has not yet been publicly released, and authorities have not shared further medical details about the victim’s condition.
Witnesses at the beach described a large emergency response as rescue crews worked near the shoreline. Several people nearby reportedly attempted to assist before emergency personnel arrived.

Mahogany Beach is a popular recreational area in southeast Calgary that attracts families and visitors during warmer weather. The incident has renewed concerns about water safety as outdoor swimming areas become busier during spring and summer months.
Emergency officials are reminding parents and guardians to closely supervise children near water at all times, even in shallow areas or public beaches with lifeguard supervision. Safety experts warn that drowning incidents can happen very quickly and often silently, especially involving young children.
The Calgary Fire Department and emergency medical crews have not yet announced whether additional updates will be released regarding the child’s condition. Authorities expressed concern for the family involved as the investigation continues.
