District warns about smoking at bus shelters

Staff report
August 16, 2021 9:42am

The District is reminding people about prohibition on smoking at bus shelters. District says it has received several complaints regarding residents smoking at bus stops.

This poses both a personal health risk and fire safety hazard.

The District of Squamish Smoking Regulation, Bylaw 2042 prohibits smoking in transit shelters, and fines can range from $150 and $500.

“We are currently in an extreme fire danger risk and fires are easily ignited from improperly discarded smoking materials. Smokers must use an ashtray to dispose of smoking materials,” district reminds.

The fine for improperly discarding smoking materials is $500 in addition to any expenses incurred if it causes a fire.

District is also urging residents to report illegal campfires by calling 911 immediately.

To report a wildfire, please call 1.800.663.5555 toll-free or *5555 from a mobile device.

To report a bylaw violation, please call Bylaw office at 604.815.5067.

    Great news to hear about pro-active citizens, here I sit in front of my Youtube screen and watch smokers throw their butts as they board transit … then go out and eliminate them. Just goes to show how sleepy some of us senior citizens can be when it comes time to rocking the boat or bus.regarding by-laws. Hard to catch them after they board … as do have four routes to observe … ? One thing for sure smokers thankfully are on the decline, but still disrespectful by habit. Speaking of by-laws is there not one also for riding a bicycle on the sidewalks …. ?
