The current University Smoking Policy (GP 16) was approved by the Board in November

laws prohibiting smoking in public places. Also, the Workers Compensation Board has

introduced Industrial Health and Safety Regulations restricting smoking in the workplace.

The attached revision to GP 16 proposes to prohibit smoking in any enclosed space on

the University's campuses. The revised policy has been reviewed and approved by the

committee of Vice-Presidents and Deans.

The following motion is proposed for consideration of the Board of Governors;

"That the revised Non-Smoking Policy be approved."

I concur and so recommend
