Nov. 24-30 is Home Safety Week
and the Huron County Health Unit is
calling on local multi-unit housing
providers to adopt smoke-free
policies in their units.
“It’s important for landlords and
tenants to come together and adopt
smoke-free policies for their
buildings to help protect everyone
from unnecessary health and safety
risks,” says Tobacco Enforcement
Officer Patrick Landry.
Currently, one in three Ontarians
resides in an apartment,
condominium or co-op where they
may be involuntarily exposed to
tobacco smoke through shared walls,
hallways or ventilation systems.
Smoking indoors is also the number
one source of fires in the home.
Second-hand smoke contains
more than 7,000 chemicals.
Exposure to second-hand smoke in
multi-unit housing affects the health
of all residents, especially infants,
the elderly, and those with pre-
existing health conditions like
asthma and chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease. Pets can also be
affected.
Tenants can ask for buildings to
adopt smoke-free policies, which
will help benefit their health by
reducing their exposure to second-
hand smoke. Smoke-free policies
can also help reduce the risk of fire,
which improves the bottom line for
landlords.
Properties with smoke-free
policies are cheaper on average to
renovate or turnover than those
where smoking is allowed. Smoke-
free policies can also lead to cheaper
insurance premiums due to reduced
risk of fire.

PLAN NUMBER 1-2-579 APPEALING RUSTIC FEEL
Natural stone accents and mullioned windows give this tidy rancher an appealing rustic look. Inside, the two-bedroom floor plan is ideal
for a retired couple or a small family.
Nine-foot high ceilings and a contemporary open design enhance the feeling of spaciousness.
Factor in an unfinished basement, and this home might also suit a growing family.
Entry is through an open courtyard, which could easily be gated to enclose a small garden filled with potted plants.
The single front door is surrounded by windows that will bring natural light into the foyer. A staircase to the left of the foyer leads to the
basement. A laundry room is tucked behind the stairwell, with access to the two-car garage with its built-in work bench.
The spacious great room forms the hub of this home, with views to the back sundeck. A corner fireplace will warm the room in winter,
while access to the sundeck will expand the living space in summer.
The contemporary kitchen is equipped with an angled work island, a greenhouse window and a pantry cupboard. An optional buffet can
be added to the dining area, increasing storage for dishes and glassware.
The bedrooms are well separated, with the master suite located at the back of the house for quiet and privacy. The master suite includes
a three-piece bathroom, a bayed window and a door to the rear sundeck. Another three-piece bathroom is situated just outside the second
bedroom.
Exterior finishes include horizontal siding, painted trim and decorative woodwork in the gables.
This home measures 40 feet wide by 51 feet, 6 inches deep and has 1,294 square feet of finished living space. The design includes an
unfinished basement.
