Smoking and Vaping

SMOKING/VAPING 

The Ministry of Education has updated its legislation with respect to tobacco products and electronic cigarettes through the introduction of PPM 128. 

Students are banned from being in possession or use of tobacco/nicotine products and/or electronic cigarettes at school. 

If a student is caught with any of these items, the items must be given up and parents/guardians will be notified immediately. 

Students will be subjected to progressive discipline, and schools may engage Public Health Units to support education, prevention and enforcement. 

Anyone wishing to smoke or vape in public areas must be at least 20 meters from school grounds, including in the parking lot.
