The City of Ottawa’s expanded smoke-free regulations are now in effect. Smoking is now prohibited on all municipal properties, such as parks and beaches, and on all bar and restaurant patios. These changes are designed to protect non-smokers and children from second-hand smoke, and to reduce smoking rates.Starting today, by-law enforcement officers will provide information and issue courtesy warnings where appropriate.By-law and Regulatory Services and Ottawa Public Health staff are continuing to reach out to all affected restaurants and bars, business groups, community associations, event organizers and users of City facilities. Public awareness strategies will continue throughout the spring and summer to help ensure a smooth transition for the regulatory changes.For more information about the expanded regulations, or for help to quit smoking, please visit ottawa.ca/smokefree or call 3-1-1.If you are a restaurant or bar owner and would like to arrange for training for your serving staff, please e-mail healthsante@ottawa.ca or call the Ottawa Public Health Information Line at 613-580-6744. read more..
