Smoking Restrictions in Store at Lake of the Woods District Hospital

Lake of the Woods District Hospital is going ahead with plans to make their facilities smoke-free places.

Starting April 22nd, each of the hospital four buildings will have only one smoking area.

Hospital CEO Marc Belcaen says they are actually going above and beyond what's contained in Ontario's Smoke-Free Act.

The hospital has also set up a Tobacco Usage Review Group, that will work towards making the hospital a completely smoke-free zone in the next year or so.
