It's time for Ontarians to
I N S TA L L A
CARBON MONOXIDE
A
Alarm
n Ontario firefighter who fought for new legislation says he hopes that other provinces are taking note. By April 15 this year, any Ontario home that has a potential source of deadly gas, must comply by installing working carbon monoxide (CO) alarms outside all sleeping areas. Only the Yukon has done the same to date.
12
thehomenews.ca
John Gignac, who co-founded the Hawkins-Gignac Foundation for CO Education in 2009 to honour the memory of his niece, her husband and their two children who perished when carbon monoxide from their gas fireplace seeped back into their home because of a blocked chimney vent, says he is optimistic a ripple effect will take place. m
thehomenews.ca

C home safety
“Now that both the Yukon and Ontario governments have passed laws making CO alarms mandatory in homes with fuel-burning appliances, wood and gas fireplaces, as well as attached garages and carports I am going to do my best to make sure others follow suit,” says Gignac.
Laws or no laws, he points out that the need for education and awareness about the sources of this lethal gas never stops. Everyone should recognize the symptoms and the importance of installing carbon monoxide alarms to warn of its presence.
” It is an important step forward in preventing carbon monoxide deaths and injuries.”
Carbon monoxide is called the silent killer because humans cannot smell, taste or see it. It can come from everyday heating systems, fireplaces and appliances that burn gas, oil or other fossil fuels. If devices are not working properly, or venting is cracked or blocked, CO can seep back into a home with devastating results. “My niece and her family did not have a CO alarm and it cost them their lives,” Gignac continues. “So my message to others is: Get your systems checked each year by a licensed technician; make yourself aware of the sources and symptoms of CO poisoning; and install approved CO alarms outside all your bedrooms.” More information about this topic is available at www.endthesilence.ca.

Why
C NADIAN FOOD is becoming a
PRIORITY PURCHASE
I
t's no secret that our food purchases have a direct impact on our health, but did you know that your choices may also have a far-reaching effect? Many consumers pay attention to the origins of their food, preferring to choose home-grown products. This type of conscious purchasing has a direct and positive impact on Canadian farmers, beekeepers, and other foodrelated industries.
Take honey, for example. Recently, many brands have started to blend a foreign supply with a minimum percentage of Canadian honey. As a result, less honey is required domestically and increasingly, more of it is imported into Canada. That's bad news for local beekeepers who depend on the demand for their product, as well as for the farmers that rely on bees for crop pollination. But not all Canadian packers are giving in to the blended trend. Guy Chartier, CEO of Bee Maid Honey, notes that this producer-owned co-op has been a part of the Canadian food landscape for over 60 years.
� Our beekeeper owners take great pride in their ownership, and take extreme care to provide the best quality honey,� explains Guy Chartier.
16
thehomenews.ca
BeeMaid
Honey BARBEQUE SAUCE I NGREDI ENTS “We source it all from our owners, and this structure ensures that our honey is of consistent quality year after year, bottle after bottle.” Canadian honey standards are among the highest in the world, and the country's beekeepers work hard to meet and exceed those standards, Chartier points out. “So not only do companies like Bee Maid Honey support the success of our beekeepers and farmers, but you know that what you're eating meets strict health and safety standards.” Be sure to read the labels on products the next time you're in a grocery store. It may be the best way for you to support local beekeepers and agriculture - and as barbecue season arrives, do try this delicious recipe featuring Canadian honey:
• 1/2 cup minced Onion • 1 Clove Garlic, minced • 1 tbsp Oil • 1 can (8 oz.) Tomato Sauce • 1/2 cup BeeMaid Honey • 2 tbsp Vinegar • 2 tbsp minced Parsley • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper • Pinch Cayenne Pepper
DI RECTI ONS Sauté onion and garlic in oil until softened. Add remaining ingredients and bring mixture to boil; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. More tasty recipes are available at www.beemaid.com. THN
