News

The Government of Saskatchewan has introduced Henry’s Law, which strengthens carbon monoxide alarm requirements for multi-unit residential buildings.

Owners of all new and existing multi-unit residential buildings must comply by November 1, 2026.

Multi-unit residential buildings may include:

• Apartments
• Condominiums
• Motels and hotels
• Boarding houses
• Rooming houses
• Dormitories
• Other buildings with multiple residential suites

Each suite must have at least one carbon monoxide alarm installed. Smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms must be installed, maintained, tested, and replaced as required.

Owners are responsible for ensuring alarms are properly installed in each residential suite or unit.

Carbon monoxide is invisible, odourless, and tasteless, and can be deadly. Early detection saves lives.

For more information, please visit the Government of Saskatchewan website at saskatchewan.ca or contact the RM office.
