In a major step to enhance public safety, the Ontario Fire Code is being updated to require the installation of more extensive carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in homes. These changes, coming into force on January 1, 2026, will require property owners to ensure additional CO alarms are installed, extending detection to all storeys of residential homes and buildings.

Starting January 1, 2026, the Ontario Fire Code will require carbon monoxide (CO) alarms on every floor of homes and buildings with a fuel-burning appliance, fireplace, or attached garage. These changes aim to help people detect carbon monoxide sooner and stay safer from this invisible, dangerous gas.

The City of Niagara Falls has initiated development of an Unhoused Action Plan 2026, a strategic initiative to strengthen the municipality’s support for unhoused and vulnerable residents. As part of this work, the City is inviting residents to provide feedback that will help shape the plan’s direction and priorities.

After months of collaboration between City staff, Council members, and a dedicated creative agency, the City of Niagara Falls is proud to introduce its revitalized brand identity - a fresh, contemporary look designed to reflect the city’s dynamic spirit and iconic natural beauty.
