18. Will the Tobacco- and Smoke-Free Campus policy affect neighbouring businesses and the community?

U of G is committed to maintaining positive relationships with our community and neigbours. Those who smoke in areas surrounding the University should not litter, loiter or trespass. Receptacles have been placed at the perimeter of campus for proper disposal of cigarette butts. Property owners have the right to enforce their boundaries.

During the consultation phase of the smoke-free campus initiative, the steering committee had discussions with neighbourhood groups and businesses. Representatives of the committee will continue to meet with these groups to monitor any impacts from the policy.
