REMINDER: No Smoking Permitted on Campus

Recently there have been complaints of staff smoking in the courtyard smoking area. As a reminder, smoking in the courtyard has been restricted to residents ONLY since spring of 2024 [link]. Staff and visitors are not be permitted to smoke in this area.

In addition, staff and visitors are NOT PERMITTED to smoke in their vehicle while parked anywhere on the Menno Place campus.

Menno Place is a smoke-free campus. In keeping with Fraser Health’s smoke-free policy, and in response to feedback from our listening sessions with families, the courtyard smoking hut is reserved for residents only.

Smoking is not permitted in any building, on the campus, in cars in the parking lots, or within three meters of any door, window, or air intake in compliance with the City of Abbotsford Smoking Regulation Bylaw No. 1694-2017. You can find the updated Menno Place No Smoking policy on Sharepoint, using the link in the navigation of the staff site.
