OPP charge impaired boater

The OPP says a 19 year old Kenora man has been charged with impaired driving
after the boat he was driving overturned on Lake of the Woods.

Police were called out around 2:00 Sunday morning, after getting a report that
a boat had flipped over on the south side of Treaty Island.

When emergency service personnel arrived on the scene, they discovered five people
had been in the boat, but all made it to shore.

The OPP say further investigation showed the driver of the boat had been drinking
and also faces a number of charges under the Canada Shipping Act.

He's due to appear in Kenora Court at the end of July to answer the charges.
