Smoke-Free Ontario Act

The recent legislation prohibiting smoking in public places is not a municipal by-law but a Provincial statute called the Smoke Free Ontario Act.

The Smoke Free Ontario Act (SFOA) came into effect May 31, 2006. Complete details can be retrieved from the Region of Niagara's Website, Smoke Free Ontario Act Section.

Niagara Falls City Council recently received an information report on the impact of the Act on Residential Care Facilities. Smoke Free Residential Care Facilities Report - CD-2006-10
