A toddler was found dead outside a Bancroft school after being left in a hot car while his mother was at work says Bancroft Mayor Paul Jenkins.
Twenty-three-month-old Everett Smith was pronounced dead at the hospital after being found outside North Hastings High School last Thursday.
According to the mayor, the mother meant to drop off her son at daycare before going to work.
Everett’s parents, Diana and Jason Smith, have launched the Everett Smith Memorial Fund in partnership with North Hastings Children’s Services.
“This fund will be used to create opportunities for children and families to experience joy in Everett’s memory honouring his legacy,” the parents wrote.
