The City of London has been looking into expanding the current smoking bylaw to include outdoors spaces such as parks, playgrounds and entrances to city-owned buildings to promote tobacco-free living to children and youth in environments where they play and to limit exposure to second-hand smoke.
We want to ensure that as many residents in the City of London are aware of these possible changes and have the opportunity to “Have their Say” regarding:
- Exposure to second-hand smoke by child and youth engaging in recreational and sporting activities
- Impact of role modelling smoking behaviours
- Litter generated by cigarette packs and butts
We are asking you to please pass along this information to your:
- Community partners / coalitions
- Networks
- Family / friends
- Any coaches of sports / athletic associations that your children may participate in
Have Your Say!
