 Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter was taken to a Winnipeg hospital Thursday morning, after the 92-year-old appeared to feel faint while working on a Habitat for Humanity house. The former president has told the organizers he is feeling fine. The statement from the organization said that Carter was being rehydrated in hospital, and his wife was with him. Shortly afterwards, firefighters and paramedics were seen scrambling, and an ambulance arrived. The media was pushed back from the view of Carter before the ambulance left the site, followed immediately by his motorcade. Carter informed build leaders that he is feeling "OK," according to Habitat International CEO Jonathan Reckford, and encouraged volunteers to continue on with their regular workday. Vehicles in former U.S. President Jimmy Carter's motorcade and Winnipeg police vehicles are seen outside the emergency department at St. Boniface Hospital Thursday. The Carters, who will stay in Winnipeg through Friday to work on a Habitat for Humanity build, arrived at the St. James work site shortly before 8 a.m. to lead a morning devotional. 25 houses to be constructed in Manitoba
