Ryan's Law (Canada)

Ryan's Law is an Ontario, Canada law that forces schools to allow children to have their inhalers with them.[1][2][3] It is named after Ryan Gibbons of Straffordville, Ontario who died on 9 October 2012 aged 12, because his school would not let him carry his inhaler with him.[4]
