Women's shelter asks for smoking bylaw exemption By Jennifer Hubbard Goderich Signal -Staff Even though Huron was just days away from implementing its first smoke-free bylaw, county councillors said very little at their Sept._ 2 meeting about the impending change that will make people across the county butt out at work and any public place. Huron County's Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) bylaw came into effect Saturday, Sept. 4, making all workplaces and public places smoke-free. While long-term care and psychiatric facilities are currently the only exceptions to the bylaw, health unit director Penny Nelligan told council she had received a letter regarding one additional request for exemption at the county women's shelter in Goderich. In an interview on Friday Michele Hansen, executive director for the Women's Shelter and Counselling Services of Huron stressed that she and her staff fully support the county in their decision to implement an ETS bylaw. "We plan to adhere to the bylaw as much as we can, but in the extreme case of safety we hope to be able to use our already existing smoking room," she explained. "We have asked the county to consider us the same as a psychiatric facility because we have a similar population. "There's no doubt that we wholeheartedly support the bylaw and the idea of smoking ceasation, but the time of extreme crisis is not the best time to do that." Enforcement of the ETS bylaw proves to be another issue that would be difficult regarding the women's shelter. whose success depends on extensive security measures. Hansen is not sure what the political process will be regarding her request, but said she has written a letter to both the health unit and county council. Until then, she said the women's shelter and its staff will respect the bylaw and council's decision. During the Sept. 2 meeting, council also approved the appointment of National Protective Solutions as enforcement officers for the ETS bylaw. ODA committee In an effort to make Huron County more accessible to all residents, council has agreed to form a committee to address changes that need to be made in accordance to the Ontario Disabilities Act (ODA). The Huron County Accessibility Advisory Committee (HCAAC) will consist of 12 voting members, including seven persons with disabilities, as defined in the ODA, two persons from professional disciplines, one elected official and two citizen representatives. In addition, the committee will be supported by five non-voting members - the chair of the ODA working group, one person from the county planning department. one person from the county social services department. a municipal building official and the county clerk (or designate). After canvassing other municipalities in the area, council decided that reimbursement for the HCAAC will follow the current rates for other committees - S187.57 for a full-day meeting (over two and a half hours) and $107.18 for a half-day meeting. Mileage rates for committee members are 37 cents per kilometre. Advertisements for HCAAC members. are scheduled for later this fall in preparation for new appointments in 2005.
