The ski resort Centre Vorlage in Quebec has received clearance to reopen after it was shut down following the death of a 13-year-old girl from Ottawa, whose clothing was caught in a chairlift. An inspection conducted by the Régie du bâtiment du Québec revealed certain irregularities that had to be rectified. Following a successful inspection on February 12 and 13, the resort was able to present documentation confirming that the necessary fixes had been made, allowing for the reopening of the resort.

The tragic incident occurred on February 11, when the girl became entangled in the chairlift mechanism as it was in operation, leading to fatal consequences. The family confirmed her death the following day through a statement from the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario. The incident has raised concerns regarding safety practices at ski resorts, particularly concerning chairlift operations, and has prompted calls for stricter regulations to ensure the safety of all users.

In light of this tragedy and the subsequent reopening of the ski resort, local authorities and the MRC-des-Collines police service have indicated that they will investigate the occurrence further. An Ontario coroner has been assigned to this case, highlighting the importance of examining the context of the accident to inform future safety measures. The hope is that this unfortunate event will ultimately lead to improvements in safety protocols at ski resorts across the region, ensuring similar incidents do not occur in the future.
