Saskatchewan is bolstering rules on carbon monoxide monitoring after an 11-year-old Regina boy was killed by the colourless, odourless gas.
Eric Schmalz, the government relations minister, says Henry Losco’s death in December in his family’s apartment spurred the province to move quickly.
He says starting Nov. 1, carbon monoxide alarms are to be required in all suites in multi-unit residential buildings.
Previously, alarms only needed to be installed in areas around an appliance, such as a furnace.
