I hate smoking

Everyone knows this... smoking sucks. And second hand smoke is a bitch to deal with if you’re a non-smoker. That’s why I’ve voluntarily joined the Wood Buffalo Tobacco Reduction Coalition (WBTRC), and for those of you who know me are probably thinking, “that’s right up your alley, Nicole!” The goal of this non-profit organization is to rally council to ban smoking in all public places in Fort McMurray.

Tomorrow night (Tuesday, March 27) the WBTRC is presenting the model bylaw to regional council to review and adopt. This would mean no more smokers’ voice after a night at Paddy’s, or any other bar. If you want smoking banned in all public places, show your support by joining me and the coalition at tomorrow night’s council meeting. It’s at 6 p.m. sharp in the council chambers at city hall, and you’ll be out of there by 6:20. Basically we want to get as many people at the meeting as we can – your presence will be a strong visual indicator of community support! For all the shy people out there – don’t worry, you won’t have to speak or anything – just be there!

And if you can’t to make it tomorrow night, at least sign the online petition: www.wbtrc.ca
