Tobacco and cannabis smoking is not allowed within 10 metres of:

Help Us Maintain our Outdoor Ashtrays
If an outdoor ashtray is full or needs servicing:
- Take note of the unit number on the upper left corner of the sign located above the ashtray
- Dial 311 and please provide the details about the unit number and what's wrong
The City will service the unit as soon as possible.
What Else Can I Do?
