municipal smoke-free bylaws in ontario - ocat · 2 for bars, restaurants, bingo halls, bowling...

MUNICIPAL SMOKE-FREE BYLAWS IN ONTARIO Disclaimer: Ontario Municipal Bylaw Report, updated April 1, 2003 The information provided in this report has been interpreted by OCAT staff from municipal bylaws. Please note that these by-laws may be amended from time to time. OCAT assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained herein. For complete clarification, please refer to the actual bylaw, or speak with the municipal clerk. The following smoke-free bylaw analysis is divided into five groups:

1. 100% smoke-free public place and workplace bylaws – “Gold” standard 2. Public place and/or workplace smoke-free bylaws 3. Smoke-free municipally owned buildings bylaws 4. Municipalities with no smoke-free bylaws 5. “Proprietor’s choice” smoke-free bylaws

There are 446 municipalities in Ontario. In this report, every municipality is represented in one of the five groups above. Please refer to the Association of Municipalities website (www.amo.on.ca/amo/more.html) to view groupings of municipalities based on regions, counties, and districts. Exclusions:

1. Smoking “policies” (as distinct from “bylaws”). This means that some municipalities are placed into group four, despite having a minimal level of protection. Policies will never be stronger than restricting or prohibiting smoking in municipal buildings.

2. Bylaws that do not apply to the entire municipality, but only particular areas prior to amalgamation. 1. 100% smoke-free public place and workplace bylaws – “Gold” standard

100% smoke-free bylaws are those considered by the Ontario Tobacco-Free Network (OTN) to be “gold” standard. “Gold” standard bylaws must have 100% smoke-free environments with no DSR allowances for bars and restaurants; however DSRs are allowed in one of bingo halls, billiards, or bowling alleys. Private club exemptions are also permitted. The bylaws in this group include both those which have passed but are not yet implemented, and those that are currently in force. “Gold” standard is assigned based on the final date of implementation. Please refer to the OTN website at www.theotn.org for more details. The categories examined are: eating establishments, bars, bingo halls, bowling alleys, billiards, casinos, slots, taxis, private clubs, patios, municipal buildings, workplaces, proprietors’ obligations, enforcement, DSR (designated smoking room), OTN (Ontario Tobacco-Free Network) standard, and implementation date (month/day/year). Selection of categories is limited due to size considerations. The omission of a public place and/or workplace category (ie. senior residences) does not mean it does not appear in some bylaws.

2. Public places and/or workplaces smoke-free bylaws Group two consists of smoke-free bylaws that are not as strong as 100% smoking bans, but do provide restrictions or prohibitions for smoking in some public places and/or workplaces. According to guidelines set by the OTN, “silver” standard smoke-free bylaws fit into this group (ie. DSRs are allowed

2

for bars, restaurants, bingo halls, bowling alleys and billiards). Even weaker public place and/or workplace bylaws fall into this group, some of which do not regulate any of the categories listed but rather other types of locations, such as service lines, retail shops and hair salons. The categories examined are: eating establishments, bars, bingo halls, bowling alleys, billiards, casinos, slots, taxis, private clubs, patios, municipal buildings, workplaces, proprietors’ obligations, enforcement, DSR (designated smoking room), OTN (Ontario Tobacco-Free Network) standard, and implementation date (month/day/year). Selection of categories is limited due to size considerations. The omission of a public place and/or workplace category (ie. senior residences) does not mean it does not appear in some bylaws.

Definitions of Categories: Public Place – Refers to a place to which the public has access by right or by invitation, expressed or implied, whether by payment of money or not, but does not include a place when used exclusively by one or more individuals for a private gathering or personal purpose. Workplace – Refers to a place to which an employee works (employee can also mean “volunteer” depending on the definition of employee), and generally includes washrooms, corridors, lounges, eating areas, reception areas, elevators, foyers, hallways, stairways, parking garages, factory floors, etc. Private dwellings that are also workplaces are exempted. Designated Smoking Room (DSR) – Refers to a separately-enclosed, separately-ventilated room. The DSR must satisfy certain ventilation and size criteria. Please note that a “yes” or “no” designation in the DSR category applies only to those categories included in the chart. There may be a DSR for a category not listed. Eating establishments –This is a general term that applies to places where food is the major source of sales. Such places include restaurants, cafes, food courts, cafeterias, ice cream parlors, tea or lunch rooms, dairy bars, coffee shops, donut shops, snack bars, places of refreshment, dinner theatres, and banquet rooms. Some bylaws will include bars under their definition of an eating establishment. Private Club – Refers to places used exclusively by one or more individuals for private use. Private clubs include Canadian Legion Branches. Private Clubs are usually defined by the following criteria:

• Fixed membership, membership fees, membership cards • Not open to the public and does not solicit business from the public. • Elected executive • Governing constitution and bylaws • Operated on a not-for-profit basis • Members cannot consume food or alcohol unless accompanied by a member.

Smoke-free bylaws handle the regulation of private clubs in the following ways:

1. Private clubs are exempt as a named class, despite any other public place or workplace provision. 2. Private clubs are not regulated by public place bylaws because they are not open to the public. 3. Private clubs are not regulated by workplace bylaws because there are no employees. The

definition of employees may include “volunteers.” 4. Private clubs are regulated by public place bylaws because they are open to the public. 5. Private clubs are regulated by workplace bylaws because they have employees. The definition of

employees may include volunteers, depending on the definition of employee. This effectively covers private clubs which may try to argue that they are not workplaces because they do not have paid employees, only volunteers.

Keep in mind the above scenarios when reviewing the bylaw summaries for the various municipalities. For example, while private clubs may be listed as being exempt from a municipal bylaw, under certain conditions, it may be covered if it is open to non-members and/or has employees, paid or volunteers. Municipal Buildings – Refers to buildings owned by the municipality. Includes libraries, civic centres, community centres, recreational complexes, administration buildings, Town Halls and other municipally owned or municipally operated facilities.

3

N/A – “Not applicable” is designated to municipalities which do not have casinos or slots, or specific provisions for these types of establishments. Please note that specific bylaw provisions for any category will override general provisions made for public places and/or workplaces. 3. Smoke-free municipally-owned buildings bylaws Municipalities that fall into this category do not have public place and/or workplace bylaws, but have bylaws that prohibit or restrict smoking in one or more municipal buildings. Municipal buildings covered include libraries, civic centres, community centres, recreational complexes, administration offices/buildings, Town Halls and other municipally owned or operated facilities. Some smoke-free bylaws in this category will prohibit smoking in all municipal buildings, whereas some will only prohibit smoking in particular buildings, or rooms. 4. Municipalities with no smoke-free bylaws This group includes those municipalities that do not have public place and/or workplace or municipal building smoke-free bylaws. 5. “Proprietor’s choice” smoke-free bylaws These bylaws allow proprietors the choice to maintain a 100% smoke-free business, or permit smoking in designated areas.
