Proud to be Part of Garrett’s Legacy

June 3, 2024

We are pleased to share that MPP Ric Bresee’s Private Member’s Bill 99, Garrett’s Legacy Act (Requirements for Movable Soccer Goals), has received its Third and final Reading in Queen’s Park and has been ordered for Royal Assent with unanimous consent of the House.

The Bill began in 2017 after a tragic accident, when young Garrett Mills of Napanee was playing in a public park on a moveable soccer net when it collapsed on him. Having coincidentally asked his parents only days before “What’s a legacy?”, they were determined that they would try to ensure that Garrett would leave a lasting one to protect other children.

That legacy became a reality, and we are grateful to both the Mills and Palm families, who’s daughter suffered a similar accident, that fought for this bill and grateful to all Members of the Ontario Legislative Assembly for supporting and passing this important act.

We are proud to have been a part of enacting Garrett’s Legacy
