Vanier College to become entirely smoke free

Vanier College is proud to announce that Vanier will become a smoke-free institution/campus starting in the Fall 2018 semester. As such, smoking of any kind and of all substances including tobacco products and electronic cigarettes, will not be permitted in any building or on the entire grounds of the college, including the Lachute Field Station or other satellite campus grounds or facilities owned or leased by Vanier. Anyone wishing to smoke will have to leave the campus grounds and do so while on public property.

This policy, which will be sent to the Vanier College Board of Directors for approval, will apply to students, faculty and staff as well as contractors and visitors of Vanier College. The goal is to spend the next year working with the community to implement the ban, addressing issues such as installing new signage and offering assistance to any member of the Vanier community that is seeking to stop smoking.
