An eight-year-old boy died Sunday while tobogganing in New Brunswick, but few details about the incident are being released.
The child died of head injuries at Erb's Hill in Hampton, RCMP said.
No further details are being released at the request of the boy's family, police said.
A similar incident earlier this year that involved a 12-year-old Manitoba boy prompted renewed calls for children to wear helmets while sledding, snowboarding, skiing or enjoying other outdoor winter activities.
A November 1996 report by the Public Health Agency of Canada on sledding injuries found that children were most often injured when they fell off their toboggans, sleds or crazy carpets, or collided with an obstacle or person.
The report said 40.1 per cent of injuries involved falling off the sled, 32.6 per cent involved colliding with a rock, tree or snowbank, and 15.3 per cent involved colliding with another person.
A talented lot in here today and while its good to see they have managed to master the difficult cut and paste technique seems they are still have difficulties following threads. Makes you wonder if then they actually even understand what their cutting and pasting in the first place.
But I suspect your a social status seeker and will lift your tail when all the other sheep do. I ,not they,will hardly be in mourning for a bunch of quebecers on vacation,at the cost of billions,whilst ignoring the tragedies in our own province.

Here is a "copy" and paste,And most? people know,you can't cut and paste in a web page. haha
And the law of intellectual properties apply. haha
I doubt anything intellectual has ever been too much of a concern to you anonymous 5:50. Of course had you actually ever read the news you would know where both of the above came from. As to cut or copy...well lets just say that if an intellectual "giant" such as yourself managed to get the idea then I suspect most of the rest of the world can too.

Great observation!COMMON SENSE
Try choosing life
A lot has been made in the news lately about the crisis of declining population in Atlantic Canada.
We are told that we will be living in the conditions of a Third World country in the 21st century, if the trend does not change.
I find it ironic that Premier Graham is setting up committees to work on the this serious issue, but also supports the Morgentaler clinic.
Being an adopted child, I am only alive because my birth mother had the courage to give me life.
As I am 55-years-old, it was at a time when being an unwed mother carrying a child was much more difficult than today.
I implore pregnant women to choose life .
Your baby deserves it.

I'm sure you get the "drift".
