Twelve students were taken to hospital Monday after what appears to have been an electrical incident at a waterpark in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley.

Cpl. Carmen Kiener with Chilliwack RCMP confirmed in an email that the children were in stable condition after sustaining “serious but non-life-threatening injuries” at Cultus Lake Waterpark, east of Vancouver.
