Adolescents aged 15   to   17 years who consumed alcohol, cannabis or other tobacco products were more likely to report having vaped in the previous 30   days than teens who did not use these substances. Being male, employed, having lower grades, or peers that engaged in negative behaviours like skipping school also increased the chances of vaping. For younger teens aged 12   to   14 years, alcohol use, peer behaviours and employment also increased this risk. (Source: Statistics Canada, The Daily: Health)

Fatal fires are tragic events that are devastating individually, to families and within communities. From 2011 to 2020, there were approximately 220 fire-related deaths in Canada each year.

Smaller proportions of these deaths were classified as either intentional (15%), such as suicides and homicides, or were undetermined (4%), where the classification of the manner of death (i.e., accident, homicide or suicide) could not be determined following investigation.
