68.A Safety Regarding Ski Lifts
Whereas, There is no uniform law in Canada requiring the regular inspection of ski lifts; and,
Whereas, An alarming number of accidents are occurring and are of great concern; and,
Whereas, Mechanical devices to serve the public (such as elevators) generally are regulated by municipal bylaw; and,
Whereas, Ski lifts generally are in rural municipalities which do not have either the necessary bylaws or inspection facilities; therefore:
RESOLVED, That the National Council of Women of Canada ask all Provincial Councils of Women to request their respective
Provincial Legislatures to pass and adopt a uniform code of safety standards of all ski lifts and to enforce regular inspection.
