Tobacco-Free Living

About Us

 

The York Region Smoke-Free Ontario Grants, Tobacco-Free Living and Tobacco Education and Control Teams are committed to promoting smoke-free communities by reducing the number of residents who use tobacco products and are exposed to second-hand smoke.

 

We strive to achieve a smoke-free York Region through advocacy, education and awareness and enforcement of the Smoke-Free Ontario Act (law).  Tobacco-free living focuses on tobacco-use prevention, quit smoking and enforcement of the Smoke-Free Ontario law. 

 

The tobacco teams promote tobacco-free living by way of:

 

• Community Outreach  
• Social Marketing and Mass Media Campaigns 
• Partnerships with schools, workplaces, events, and community organizations and coalitions
