The new tobacco -free policy was enacted last week, covering the fields, sidelines and parking lots of the MRC. It does not cover the parking lot be- hind Suncoast Mall. The decision to go smoke-free was an easy one, according to YMCA staff. • "Our organization is based on build- ing healthy kids, strong communities and strong families," said Jane Dawson. "This just seemed like a way we could encourage healthy living." Picking up on an ever-increasing movement away from tobacco, Dawson said this also encompasses the non - smokable varieties. "Tobacco free means no smoking, snuffing, dipping or chewing tobacco by coaches, players, parents and officials, spectators," she said. "It was something we wanted to take the initiative on." Working together with the Huron County Health Unit, Dawson said Mai- tland staff made use of the HCHU's re- source materials and guidelines before coming up with a butting -out timeline. Public awareness of the no -tobacco shift was done through fact sheets, newspaper advertisements, announce- ments to teams and even in staff train- in"(We) tried to sort of cover all of our bases;' Dawson said. Those found breaking the rule will be warned and eventually, asked to leave if .,tobacco use persists. what's as far as we've gone at this point," Dawson said. "We will be look- ing for feedback on how the policy can be changed to be more effective." .In the. meantime, smokers will have to take their last hauls before getting to the MRC or they could get hauled out.
