It's Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week! (Nov 1–7)

Carbon monoxide (CO) is called the "silent killer" for a reason. You can't see it, smell it or taste it, and a working CO alarm is the only way to know it's there.

This is also the first CO Awareness Week since Ontario's new Fire Code rules took effect on January 1, 2026. If your home has a fuel-burning appliance, a fireplace or an attached garage, you now need a CO alarm:

✅ Outside every sleeping area
✅ On every storey of your home

The clocks went back this weekend, so it's a great time to:
🔋 Test your CO and smoke alarms
🔄 Change the batteries
📅 Check the date on each alarm and replace any that are past the manufacturer's expiry

Follow along all week for more tips to keep your family safe!

Happy Halloween, Grey Highlands!

From Markdale to Flesherton, Feversham to Priceville, we hope everyone has a safe and fun evening out tonight.

If you're trick-or-treating, remember that many areas of Grey Highlands don't have sidewalks or streetlights, so bright costumes, flashlights, and reflective gear can help keep everyone visible. If you're driving, please use extra caution and watch for children crossing roads, walking along shoulders, and moving between houses.

Have fun and be safe!
