One of the primary goals of the PSRC is to make recommendations aimed at preventing deaths in similar circumstances. Recommendations are distributed to relevant organizations and agencies through the Chair of the PSRC.

Similar to recommendations generated through coroners’ inquests, the recommendations developed by the PSRC are not legally binding and there is no obligation for agencies and organizations to implement or respond to them.

Organizations and agencies are asked to respond back to the Executive Lead, PSRC on the status of implementation of recommendations within six months of distribution. All reports and recommendations are distributed electronically.

Redacted versions of all reports and responses to recommendations are available to the public upon request at occ.inquiries@ontario.ca.
