Police say off-duty medical professionals were attempting to resuscitate the child who was rushed to the hospital and later pronounced dead.
Separately, police say emergency services responded to a residence on River Road East in Wasaga Beach at approximately 1:05 p.m. after reports of a missing kayaker.
They say a 24-year-old man from Toronto had been kayaking with two others when their boat overturned.
The Wasaga Beach Fire Department located the man and started resuscitation efforts before he was taken to hospital and later pronounced dead.
Neither of the identities were released out of respect for the families.
