A B.C. coroner's inquest jury has made 50 recommendations, some overlapping, to prevent future tragedies similar to the deadly fire at the Winters Hotel in 2022.
The Winters Hotel burned down on April 11, 2022, killing Mary Garlow and Dennis Guay. An inquest jury will soon make recommendations to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
When a devastating fire burned through the Winters Hotel and killed two people, the Vancouver SRO was supposed to be on a 24-hour fire watch because of a blaze just days earlier.
