In Quebec, an average of 36 drowning deaths happen per year in pools. To address the situation, the Quebec government has implemented a new pool fencing law, which states that all residential swimming pools, including those installed before 2010, are required to have a compliant safety fence to prevent children from accessing them unsupervised. With the deadline of September 30th fast approaching, homeowners and pool fencing companies aren't sure if all homes with un-fenced pools will make it in time for compliance. Mathieu Lalonde, President of Cloture Enfant Secure, spoke with Andrew Carter.

Environment Canada is warning that the Montreal region could see 20 to 30 millimetres of freezing rain today, with the system potentially lasting up to 24 hours. Forecasters say the ice buildup could lead to dangerous road conditions, falling branches, transit disruptions and possible power outages across much of southern Quebec. City crews are already preparing for the storm, with public works teams ready to salt roads, monitor infrastructure and respond to emergencies if conditions deteriorate. Jim Beis, a member of the Ville de Montréal Executive Committee, where he is specifically responsible for security and prevention, spoke to Andrew Carter.
