====================================================================

 

 

As per Bill 10 – Tobacco Sales (Banning Tobacco and Smoking in Public Places and Schools) Amendment Act, 2007, the Board of Education for School District No. 78 (Fraser-Cascade) recognizes its duty to attempt to ensure the safety of the workplace and to satisfy itself that each employee is able to work in a safe environment.  As an education authority, the Board has a responsibility to provide educational leadership and its employees shall act as positive role models while in the workplace. 

 

The Board, believing that smoking presents a hazard to health and safety, clearly declares that it does not in any sense condone or encourage smoking.  This policy is intended to transmit the above belief to pupils and all others who use school district facilities.

 

Smoking is not permitted on school district property, including vehicles in parking lots, or in any school district building or vehicle.
