Following the tragic death of 12-year-old Maia Santarelli-Gallo at a Hamilton, Ontario mall, a city councillor wants every food establishment to have life-saving epinephrine auto-injectors on hand.

Councillor Lloyd Ferguson says if automated external defibrillators are being installed in community arenas, it only makes sense to have epinephrine auto-injectors available in locations where food allergy reactions are most likely to occur (restaurants, eateries, etc.).
