Looking at implementing policies to prevent injuries: Window guards and 4-sided fencing. Any advice or lessons learned?

Posted March 27, 2023

Ottawa Public Health is looking at implementing policies to prevent injuries: Window guards and 4-sided fencing.


I have looked at different regions for their policy - City of Toronto and Gatineau Quebec. 


If anyone can share their success stories in implementing these policies in their community, could you please contact me: nathalie.mckenna@ottawa.ca


Quebec has an amazing 4 sided fencing policy.  They have inserted picture requirements for fencing.
