A container full of teddy bears that fell into the St Lawrence River near the Port of Montreal over the weekend has been successfully removed, reports the Canadian Press.
An employee with the company Urgence Marine Environment confirmed the container has been pulled from the water but did not provide further details.
The container fell off a ship late Saturday during a transfer and was found the next day near Boucherville, on Montreal's South Shore.
Renee Larouche says the registry associated with the container suggested it contained stuffed animals and posed no danger to the public.
She said she wasn't exactly sure how the container would be removed, but expected it to involve heavy equipment.
Ms Larouche said it's 'very rare' for a container to be lost at the port and an investigation is underway to find out what happened.
