I LIKE MY LITTLE BACK YARD FIRES ! THE CITY OF CAMBRIDGE SUCKS

The bikes are a poor idea. There not safe and are hardly getting used. I've seen motorists use these lanes as passing lanes. Some could get hurt or killed. Spend the money on warn out roads instead of these silly bike lanes.

I put up with yappy dogs, cats defecating on my property, but can't have a nice fire for smores on my own property? Shame on you Kitchener councillors!

Long live the family backyard fire

Kitchener's asthma rate for residents over 12 is 10.2% compared to 8.5% for the Stats Can 2010 figures. Cambridge has banned this nonsense since 1986 and Cambridge's rate is 7.8%, We continue to gather medical, environmental and legal information.

dont let a few bleeding hearts ruin it for everyone...N2H3L2

The wood smoke issue is now before The Regional Board of Health as the public health hazard that it is.

BTW. Many cultures who relied only on wood for heat, light and cooking only lived very short lives like 30 or 40 years.

The main pollutants in wood smoke that cause health concerns are:
Particulate Matter: This is the term for solid or liquid particles found in the air and is one of the primary components of smog. They can be very small and can travel deep into your lungs, causing respiratory and heart problems.
Carbon Monoxide: This is a colourless, odourless gas that is poisonous at high levels. It can interfere with the delivery of oxygen in the blood to the rest of your body.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): These are a wide range of compounds that usually have no color, taste or smell. Some cause direct health effects, while others contribute to smog.
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: These compounds are a health concern because of their potential to cause cancer

we had some of our warmest nights sitting by a small contained fire. it would be a shame for others not to be able to experience that. think it over please.
