The upcoming long weekend means many families are heading back to the cottage and opening for the season.
As you get things ready, don’t forget about safety.
As of January 1st, 2026, carbon monoxide (CO) alarms are required in all homes, outside sleeping areas and on all storeys that have fuel-burning appliances, fireplaces, or attached garages.
CO is a colourless, odourless gas that can be deadly, so a working CO alarm is an important layer of protection.
Before settling in for the season wherever you call home, make sure your CO alarms are installed, tested, and have fresh batteries.
A quick check now means you can relax, unwind, and enjoy all that cottage season has to offer.
