One employee was treated at the scene by Chatham-Kent EMS.
Meanwhile, two people were rescued in Rondeau Bay just before noon, after the canoe they were in flipped. Chatham-Kent OPP said the canoe capsized approximately 800 metres from shore between Shrewsbury and Rondeau Park.
Both canoeists were wearing personal flotation devices and did not suffer injuries.
