👉The jury from a coroner's inquest into the Winters Hotel fire, which claimed two lives in Vancouver two years ago, recommends discontinuing public funding for privately-owned single-room-occupancy hotels. Among over two dozen suggestions is the call for BC Housing to collaborate with operators for higher fire safety standards in SRO buildings. The inquest, examining the deaths of Mary Ann Garlow and Dennis Guay, found the fire started from candles, and malfunctioning sprinklers exacerbated the tragedy. Advocates caution against cutting funding, expressing concerns about hindering affordable housing efforts, emphasizing the need for careful planning and third-party involvement in SROs.✅ .
