What is the government doing to support schools in this new law?
The Ministry of Health has provided supports to schools to assist in the implementation of the ban on tobacco use on school grounds. These supports include signs to be posted around the school grounds to inform people of the new legislation, communication materials such as newsletter templates, announcements, frequently asked questions, and helpful hints. Tools for assisting tobacco users to quit have also been provided to schools by the Ministry of Health. The Ministry will continue to support schools in implementing the legislation through a broad public awareness campaign and through the work of the provincial Tobacco Strategy.
