\nReceived Nov 2, 2020 from Kingston Fire and Rescue<\/strong>
\nOntario\u2019s Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week runs from November 1-7, and Kingston Fire & Rescue (KFR) reminds you to prevent carbon monoxide (CO) in your home by getting all fuel-burning appliances inspected annually.
\n\u201cIn Ontario, more than 65 per cent of injuries and deaths from CO occur in the home,\u201d said\u00a0Chief Shawn Armstrong. \u201cWe want to make sure everyone is safe from CO. Get all fuel-burning appliances inspected by a registered contractor.\u201d Visit\u00a0COSafety.ca<\/a><\/span>\u00a0to find a registered contractor near you.
\nKFR\u00a0also reminds you to install CO alarms in your home if you have a fuel-burning appliance, a fireplace or an attached garage. Fuel-burning appliances can include furnaces, hot water heaters, gas or wood fireplaces, portable fuel-burning heaters and generators, barbeques, stoves and vehicles.
\n\u201cYou must have a working CO alarm adjacent to each sleeping area of the home if your home has a fuel-burning appliance, a fireplace or an attached garage,\u201d said Chief\u00a0Armstrong. \u201cFor added protection, install a carbon monoxide alarm on every storey of the home according to manufacturer\u2019s instructions.\u201d
\nIf you live in a condo or apartment building which is served by a central service room, CO alarms must be installed in the central service room and adjacent to each sleeping area of all homes above, below and beside the buildings central service room.\u00a0In condo or apartment buildings that have a garage, CO alarms must be installed adjacent to each sleeping area of all homes above, below and beside the garage.<\/p>\n
\nPrevent CO in your home:<\/strong>
\nEnsure fuel-burning appliances, chimneys and vents are cleaned and inspected annually. Visit\u00a0COSafety.ca<\/a><\/span>\u00a0to find a registered contractor near you.
\nCheck that all outside appliance vents are not blocked.
\nGas and charcoal barbeques should only be used outside, away from all doors, windows, vents, and other building openings. Never use barbeques inside garages, even if the garage doors are open.
\nPortable fuel-burning generators should only be used outdoors in well-ventilated areas away from windows, doors, vents and other building openings.
\nEnsure all portable fuel-burning heaters are vented properly, according to manufacturer\u2019s instructions.
\nNever use the stove or oven to heat your home.
\nOpen the flu before using a fireplace for adequate ventilation.
\nNever run a vehicle or other fueled engine or motor inside a garage, even if the garage doors are open. Always remove a vehicle from the garage immediately after starting it.
\nKnow the symptoms of CO:<\/strong>
\nExposure to CO can cause flu-like symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, as well as confusion, drowsiness, loss of consciousness and death.
\nIf your CO alarm sounds, and you or other occupants suffer from symptoms of CO poisoning, get everyone out of the home immediately. Then call\u00a09-1-1 or your local emergency services number from outside the building.
\nIf your CO alarm sounds, and no one is suffering from symptoms of CO poisoning, check to see if the battery needs replacing, or the alarm has reached its \u201cend-of-life\u201d before calling 9-1-1.
\nKnow the sound of your CO alarm:<\/strong>
\nYour CO alarm sounds different than your smoke alarm. Test both alarms monthly and make sure everyone in your home knows the difference between the two alarm sounds.
\nDon\u2019t be confused by the sound of your CO alarm\u2019s low-battery warning. Follow your CO alarm manufacturer\u2019s instructions so you know the difference between the low-battery warning, the \u201cend-of-life\u201d warning, and the alarm alerting you to the presence of CO in your home.

\nYou have two choices:\u00a0 You can revert to the old \u201cTime of Use\u201d (TOU) system where pricing is based on usage at different times of the day \u2013 but with increases in price.\u00a0 (If you do nothing, you will automatically have been switched to this system as of Nov 1 rather that the one size fits all system the Provincial Government put in place during the early days of COVID.)
\nOR, if your usage is VERY low, you could choose a \u201cTiered\u201d system.
\nThanks so much to Jim Keetch of Utilities Kingston for this useful correspondence with Barb Schlafer, one of our members, about this Provincial Government framework:
\n\u201cYou can choose\u2026
\nThe current electricity commodity fixed rate of 12.8 \u00a2\/kWh for RPP TOU customers will no longer be in effect November 1st. The new rates for TOU and TIERED are shown below.
\nThe new TOU prices set by the OEB for November 1, 2020:<\/strong>
\n\u2013 Off-Peak (Weekdays 7 p.m. \u2013 7 a.m., all day weekends and holidays) 10.5 \u00a2\/kWh
\n.- Mid-Peak (Weekdays 11 a.m. \u2013 5 p.m.) 15.0 \u00a2\/kWh
\n\u2013 On-Peak (Weekdays 7 a.m. \u2013 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. \u2013 7 p.m.) 21.7 \u00a2\/kWh
\nThe new TIERED prices set by the OEB for November 1, 2020:<\/strong>
\n\u2013 Tier 1 Residential \u2013 first 1,000 kWh\/month \u00a012.6 \u00a2\/kWh
\n\u2013 Tier 2 Residential \u2013 for electricity used above 1,000 kWh\/month 14.6 \u00a2\/kWh
\nOn the OEB website there is a calculator to compare bill impacts for TOU vs TIERED using your consumption pattern.<\/strong>\u00a0For the winter, with the residential TIERED first block threshold set at 1000kWh, what we see generally is that there is savings to switch to TIERED if your residential consumption during the winter is less than 1000kWh per month.
\nMy quick guess is it will cost more either way

\nReceived from the Ontario Health Coalition, Nov 4, 2020
\nData & Communication Still Poor, Only One Public Health Unit is Reporting All Outbreaks with Names of Businesses<\/strong>\u00a0Toronto \u2013 As COVID-19 cases in Ontario\u2019s general population hit an all-time, increasing 24% in two weeks from October 13, 2020 to October 28, 2020, the Ontario Health Coalition released its most recent outbreaks report for non-health care settings. It is available here:\u00a0https:\/\/www.ontariohealthcoalition.ca\/index.php\/report-tracking-of-covid-19-outbreaks-in-non-health-care-settings-data-updated-to-october-28\/<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>The Ontario Health Coalition reported that clear data on how the virus is being transmitted amongst the general population is still not available.\u00a0<\/strong>Peel, with the highest rate of case positivity (6.5% of people tested are testing positive) did not contact trace 16.9% of the cases in the last week of October. In the same period, the proportions of COVID-positive cases that have not been contact traced in other \u201chot spots\u201d are: Toronto 65%; Durham 27.5%; Ottawa 48.8%. During the two-week period ending October 28, even with insufficient reporting in almost all public health units, we were able to find that several industries are far surpassing the growth in cases among the general public.
\nCases in school have grown the most significantly,\u00a0<\/strong>increasing 67.76% in two weeks while general community spread increased 24% in those same two weeks.
\nRetail outbreaks have continued to grow at a rate of 27.97%<\/strong>\u00a0in this reporting period and outbreaks public services have also grown at a rate of 26.34% in this report.
\nDevelopmental services have also seen a significant increase,<\/strong>\u00a0growing 21.26% in two weeks. While the Ontario government is reporting all cases in schools on their website, they are only classifying 233 cases\u00a0out of 2,001 cases (11.6% of school cases) as being a part of an outbreak. The government has adopted a different definition of \u201coutbreak\u201d in schools, requiring a known epi-link, which means proven, direct contact or exposure between cases. But students and teachers share washrooms, playgrounds, buses, gyms, locker spaces and other common areas.\u00a0The bottom line is that growth in the numbers of cases in schools is far higher than in the general public, there is no explanation for this in the Public Health data, and there is no way to verify the quality and thoroughness of contact tracing that is being done in schools. But the much higher growth in school COVID-positive case numbers should raise questions about what is happening.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0There appears to be no plan to improve public information and data about where transmission is occurring,<\/strong>\u00a0to provide resources for contact tracing in Toronto and other hot spots, or to require the release of information about outbreaks in workplaces.\u00a0This raises serious questions: what is the goal of Ontario\u2019s COVID response? What are the plans for the sectors that are seeing increases far above the general population\u2019s? If the market is going to be allowed to rule, and we are not condoning this approach, then why cannot people be given full information to make safer choices? Even with our best efforts at tracking, we were only able to find a small portion of cases in workplace outbreaks by name of the facility, because only Hamilton Public Health is reporting all local workplace outbreaks. Ottawa and York are reporting congregate care (Developmental Homes and Social Services), Windsor-Essex and Chatham Kent are reporting agriculture cases and Toronto is not reporting any workplace outbreaks at all outside of schools, long-term care, retirement homes and homeless shelters.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cAlmost Four Dozen People Who applied to Testify Before the Ontario Legislature\u2019s Standing Committee on Bill 218 Limiting Legal Liability for COVID-19 Liability for COVID-19 Harms for Long-Term Care Homes and Others, Cut out of Hearings Today.<\/strong>
\nToronto \u2013\u00a0\u00a0Increasingly frustrated with the lack of accountability for the response to COVID-19 in Ontario\u2019s long-term care homes, Coalition executive director Natalie Mehra called today\u2019s revelation that dozens of people who applied for standing in today\u2019s legislative hearings on Bill 218 which limits legal liability for the home operators, \u201cInjustice heaped upon injustice,\u201d for the families of those who have died. A number of family members and their lawyers were among those cut from the hearings, as the Ford government has limited the hearings to one part-day meaning that there are only 15 spaces for people to be heard. The government gave almost no notice for the hearings, which are being held this afternoon, so families spent hours in the past two days reliving the horrors of the last days of their loved ones lives while trying to write up their presentations, only to find that they will not be heard, Ms. Mehra reported. \u201cIt is heartbreaking, just so wrong,\u201d she said. Fifty-eight people applied for standing and only 15 are being heard. The practice of severely limiting public hearings has reached unprecedented levels under the Ford government which has also changed the rules of the Legislature to enable themselves to pass bills with unprecedented speed. \u201cThere is no reason that the government cannot extend the hearings to one more day to hear from people who have been directly impacted in the most devastating of ways,\u201d she said. \u201cWe are calling on the government to extend the hearings and give the families the ability to have input on this legislation that directly impacts their attempt to seek justice.\u201d Bill 218 raises the legal bar for those suing for COVID-19 harms to gross negligence from simple negligence. It redefines \u201cgood faith effort\u201d which usually means a reasonable and competent effort to say that long-term care and retirement homes, among others, just had to make an \u201chonest effort, whether reasonable or not\u201d, thereby making it both harder to sue and easier to defend. It makes these measures retroactive to March 17, 2020, the week that COVID-19 began to spread in long-term care homes, impacting more than two dozen class action and legal suits that are already underway against for-profit long-term care homes that were responsible for more than half of the COVID-19 deaths in Ontario\u2019s homes in the first wave of the pandemic, a trend that is shaping up to be the same or worse in the second wave, reported the Coalition. The Health Coalition, which opposes these measures for long-term care and retirement homes, will testify before the Standing Committee on Justice Policy at 1 p.m. today and will call on the committee to extend the hearings. \u00a0\u00a0ITEMS # 8-14 FROM THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE:<\/strong>
