Icy climate change linked to increase in falls in Montreal

Montreal Gazette · last updated

Of Montreal’s boroughs, the most outdoor falls during the study period were in Ville-Marie, with 1,476, or nearly 11 per cent of all falls — this despite the borough having only 4.6 per cent of the population of the island of Montreal, the study found. There were 16.6 falls per 1,000 people recorded in Ville-Marie, compared with seven falls per 1,000 residents of the city overall.
