Barrie, Ont. councillor wants new homes better secured against tornadoes

 
TORONTO, ONT. --
A local politician in Barrie, Ont., says she'd like to see all new properties in the province better secured against tornadoes after a twister caused severe damage to homes in the city last week.
Coun. Natalie Harris says having hurricane straps installed in all roofs would help prevent them from being ripped off buildings during severe weather.
She says she plans to put forward a motion at a council meeting next month that would have the city propose improvements to the Ontario Building Code to better protect buildings against severe winds.
Harris says she also wants to ask the City of Barrie to bring in a bylaw mandating hurricane straps for roofs of new local properties.
