"New Ontario parking rules brought in after an SUV crashed into a daycare, killing one and injuring nine, are causing confusion and making it more difficult for some parents to get to the facilities. Last week, an SUV crashed into a Richmond Hill child-care centre, killing a 1-year-old boy and injuring six children and three adults. The driver, a man in his seventies, was arrested and charged."
"Ontario Education Minister Paul Calandra on Monday told all licensed daycare providers to immediately remove parking spaces adjacent to daycare entryways, playgrounds, windows and exterior walls of classrooms until additional safety measures are implemented. The new parking directive, however, has led to confusion at some daycare centres about which parking spaces should be blocked off. One daycare in Wingham, a Huron County community in southwestern Ontario, closed the entire parking lot this week, said Dani McKague, a mom of two."
An SUV struck a Richmond Hill child-care centre, killing a 1-year-old boy and injuring six children and three adults; the driver, a man in his seventies, was arrested and charged. Ontario instructed licensed daycare providers to immediately remove parking spaces adjacent to entryways, playgrounds, windows and exterior classroom walls until additional safety measures are in place. The directive has caused confusion about which spaces to block and created access challenges for some families. One Wingham daycare closed its entire parking lot, forcing parents to park farther away and complicating drop-offs for a family with a father who has cerebral palsy. Operators were told to use pylons or signage temporarily and to work with landlords and municipalities to implement permanent barricades.
