Toronto Police have released video footage of a harrowing rescue of a family — including a one-year-old girl — from Rouge National Urban Park earlier this month.

In a news release issued on Friday night, police said officers from the Air Support unit were called to assist 42 Division with a “check address” call after a couple and their one-year-old daughter became “disoriented in dense bush while hiking near a stream” in the national park.

Police said air support responded to the Steeles Ave.-E.-Reesor Rd. area of Markham and deployed a Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) to begin the search.

Dispatch advised the lost family to use the ‘What3Words’ app — a free navigation tool that assigns three-word addresses and allows users to find, share and navigate to precise locations.
