Glass Talk Episode #43: In a Flap – Marc Deschamps and Danik Dancause, Walker Glass

Ontario’s Bill 23 has attracted some hot reaction from environmental groups, up to and including claims it has taken away municipalities’ ability to enforce environmental regulations on construction. In the glass industry, most of the questions are concerning Toronto’s bird-friendly glazing rules. As one of North America’s preeminent bird-friendly glass suppliers, Walker Glass is keeping a close eye on the situation. Architectural representative, Marc Deschamps, and marketing manager, Danik Dancause, join the podcast to update us on where things sit and how they are likely to develop. We also get into a longer discussion of bird-friendly glazing in general, including discussion of a recent study at the University of Saskatchewan that showed just how effective it can be at reducing fatal bird collisions.
