FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Workshop
SUBJECT: Proposed Maple Ridge Smoking Regulation Bylaw No. 6968-2013
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The current Smoking Regulation Bylaw was passed in 1997 and amended in 2002. Since then there
have been significant additional changes in Provincial legislation regarding smoking regulations. The
Provincial legislative changes have provided local governments with the authority to pass stronger
smoking regulations for both indoor and outdoor smoking. The proposed new bylaw incorporates
these changes so the District of Maple Ridge’s bylaw aligns with the latest provincial legislation and
is consistent with communities in the Lower Mainland. Some of the Lower Mainland and Fraser
Valley communities have chosen to expand upon the Provincial legislation, others have strictly
adopted the new Provincial standard and others have outdated bylaws or no smoking bylaw at all but
are still bound by the latest Provincial legislation.
The Maple Ridge Smoking Regulation Bylaw No. 5495-1997 should be rescinded in it’s entirety as it
is outdated and is no longer supported by Provincial legislation.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
THAT draft Maple Ridge Smoking Regulation Bylaw No.6968-2013 be received for information and
discussion.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
The most recent amendments to the Tobacco Control Regulation were passed in the legislature
in 2007 and 2008. These amendments provide local government with the ability to ban
smoking within at least 3 meters of commercial and municipal buildings as well as municipal
parks and playgrounds. If a local government wishes to expand on that distance they may do
so. The regulations are more stringent now in prohibiting both indoor and outdoor smoking.
Additionally, Work Safe BC has tightened up their enforcement requirements for areas of
business and work. The only indoor areas that are not governed by this legislation are dwelling
units as defined under the Zoning Bylaw; a hotel or motel room designated for smoking;
enclosed premises not open to the public where the occupants are the owner or owners of the
business carried on in the premises. All other premises are non-smoking areas within certain
distances from buildings or places.
Currently, Fraser Health is doing enforcement under the Tobacco Control Act Regulation. This
includes monitoring businesses for infractions regarding the selling of tobacco as well as
monitoring smoking in public places.

Page 2 of 3
The following table compares neighbouring municipalities:
Comparison of Lower Mainland Municipalities
Municipality Bylaw Adoption Distance
Port Moody 2008 7.5 metres
Surrey 2008 7.5 metres
Abbotsford 2007 7 metres
District of N. Van 2010 6 metres
Mission 2010 3 metres
Coquitlam 2010 3 metres
Langley City 2009 3 metres
Port Coquitlam 2002 3 metres
Delta 2001 3 metres
New Westminster 2004 3 metres
Richmond no bylaw
Pitt Meadows no bylaw
Chilliwack no bylaw
There is a range among municipalities with regard to the distance within which smoking is permitted.
The range is between 3 to 7.5 metres. A key decision point on the new bylaw is determining this
distance. The advantages and disadvantages of staying within the Provincially set distance of 3
metres or going to a larger distance are as follows:
OPTION 1: Staying with Provincial Distance (3 metres)
Advantages:
Fraser Health Authority is solely responsible for the enforcement.
Distance in draft bylaw is consistent with Provincial regulation
Disadvantages:
Only one health officer covering the area from Maple Ridge to Burnaby
Does not ensure adequate distance for playing fields and parks
OPTION 2: Establishing a longer distance (6 metres)
Advantages:
Keeps smokers further away from entrances and exits to buildings, especially municipal
facilities
District can regulate outdoor smoking in parks, playgrounds, bus shelters and civic properties
Disadvantages:
Fraser Health only enforces Provincial standards
In order for the District to enforce the more stringent standard, extra resources would be
required
The majority of neighbouring municipalities have smoking bylaws to augment Provincial legislation.
The proposed Bylaw is mainly an educational document for the most part. In most jurisdictions, the
Health Inspectors take on a significant amount of the educational component, resources permitting.
For continuity sake the staff positions named in the bylaw as having the authority to enforce are the
Page 3 of 3
Medical Health Officers, or their delegates, Bylaw Enforcement Officers, members of the local RCMP
and members of the local Fire Department and any other staff person designated by Council. This is
to ensure that all staff members in an enforcement field are aware of the regulations and can easily
pass them along to the public. Specific signage is another required component of this proposed
Bylaw and in most other municipalities either the Health Unit has picked up the cost of signage or
they have worked with the BC Lung Association in having the signs created and then it is a local staff
function to conduct the educational component including distributing the required signs to the
individual businesses.
The District of Maple Ridge would be required to post their own signs in areas where smoking is not
permitted on municipal property that is different than the current regulations.
Before finalizing the bylaw staff are seeking Council’s input on the proposed changes and specifically
with regard to the distances required.
b)Desired Outcome(s):
The proposed changes in the bylaw will ensure that the District of Maple Ridge Bylaw is in
alignment with current Provincial legislation.
c)Alternatives
Do not adopt proposed Maple Ridge Smoking Regulation Bylaw No. 6968-2013 and use the
Provincial statute as written, leaving it up to the Province for complete enforcement, and provide
staff with further direction.
CONCLUSIONS:
Maple Ridge Smoking Regulation Bylaw No. 5495-1997 is outdated and does not align with the
current Provincial Tobacco Act Regulations. Because of this, it should be rescinded in its entirety.
The adoption of the new Maple Ridge Smoking Regulation Bylaw will bring the District’s regulation s
in line with the Provincial regulations.
