New building code changes could protect children from falls

The City of Calgary has announced the results of a recent partnership with the Alberta Children’s Hospital that address a number of safety issues in second storey windows. Beginning in 2014, the city began work with the National Research Council to update building codes to ensure the protection of children from window falls. The study also included input from Dr. Michelle Simonelli, an emergency pediatrician and medical director of Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program
