N2M 5C2 People have the right to be concerned about air quality in this city. Smoky air is polluted air. Wood fires have no place in residential areas.

N2G 2C1 Smoky air is polluted air. These wood campfires should have been banned when Waterloo did.

A strict permit system like the one Cambridge has had in place for a long time would be acceptable.

The majority of residents do not smoke cigarettes so why should we all have to breathe in smoky air due to these wood campfires? Totally unacceptable.

City council should start living up to their environmental policy regarding air quality.

N2E 3J8

Waterloo and Cambridge have already banned these polluting backyard fires. When is Kitchener council going to start safeguarding the health of residents and the environment? It should be now with a ban.

N2M 5C8 Public health and working towards environmental targets should be the priority.

I take offence to the picture being painted of Kitchener residents blissfully sprawled around smoky firepits breathing in the poisoned, polluted air. How far we have come in 100 years of city status.

Waterloo and Cambridge have already banned these polluting backyard campfires. Kitchener needs a ban.

Wood campfires in Kitchener were always too close to neighbouring houses. The smoky air in neighbourhoods is a public health hazard.

Accountability and transparency is required not optional. We need some answers and action by Kitchener council and Waterloo Region. Backyard campfires have not place in Kitchener.

Wood smoke is not good for anyone. So many people would benefit from less polluted air in residential neighbourhoods.

Anyone who wants to sit around smoky fires should go camping like people used to do.

N2A 1R4

Most other cities have already banned these backyard fires. Kitchener should be next.

N2C 2J4 Protecting public health and the environment should not require a petition. Kitchener council needs to to their job.

Kitchener is right in the middle of 2 other cities that have banned these nuisance campfires. Wood campfires should be banned in Kitchener as well.

N2C 1R6

Please keep spreading the word about this petition. We don't want another smoky, disgustin summer like the last one. The air was pretty good during July when fires got banned due to no rain. Sounds like I'm not the only one who hates smoky summers.

It's ridiculous to allow these smoky fires when so many people have trouble with their health. All smoke is bad for health.

N2G 1E9

Please keep sending this petition to new people. Kitchener residents should not have to breathe in secondhand smoke from wood campfires in neighbouring backyards. Waterloo and Cambridge have already banned these campfires.

I like the idea of a permit system like Cambridge. Wood campfires would be okay if they were far enough away from houses and yards.
