Waterloo Regional Housing with the help of the Propel Centre for Population Health Impact at the University of Waterloo has implemented a 100% no smoking policy on all new leases as of April 1st, 2011 after many senior residents and individuals state they “are bothered” by the smoke and fear for health concerns.
