Vaping in Schools

A gentle reminder to Bellmoore Families around vaping at schools.

We strongly encourage your support and discussion at home, especially with students in grade 7 and 8: Provincial and federal laws work together to protect children and youth. It is against the law to sell or supply tobacco and vapour products to anyone under the age of 19. The Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017 prohibits the use of e-cigarettes (inhaling, exhaling, or holding an activated e-cigarette) to vape any substance in enclosed public places, schools and within 20m of school grounds. Recently, we have been working diligently to address issues related to vaping specifically at Bellmoore School. We encourage a report to the office, if there are concerns or questions related to this matter.
