N2C 1K6 It doesn't matter if you live in a house or apartment. Smoky air is polluted air and is bad for everyone.

Public education campaigns and regulations have worked really well to get people to stop smoking cigarettes. We need the same approach to get rid of the wood smoke health hazard in Kitchener backyards.

Kitchener has a smoke problem. Clean up the air in this city!

Why would anyone on city council think smoky campfires in backyards were ever a good idea. Other cities banned these nuisances for good reasons like they are health hazards and polluting.

N2E 1H2 People should not have to close their windows to keep out smoke. The smoke should not be allowed in the first place. These wood fires should be banned from backyards.

We were talking about this at Christmas when the air was disgusting from fireplace smoke. I am getting the people in my building to sign.

If people are protected from cigarette smoke hazards, it only makes sense to get these smoky wood fires out of Kitchener backyards. Look at the asthma numbers. How many have COPD, heart problems, children, the elderly?

please pass it on!

These campfires should not be allowed in city backyards and should be banned like in other normal cities.

keep it going :)

Backyard fires smoke up large areas of this city and should be banned from backyards.

Why would Waterloo and Kitchener not both ban these smoky nuisances at the same time?

N2C 2L7 Air filled with smoke is not healthy for any of us.

send this to all your freinds :)

go camping

These backyard fires were always very polluting and drinking too much is often involved.

Smoky air is unhealthy air. Clean up your act Kitchener.

N2E 1H2

The house next to mine is for sale and I don't want the stacks of wood and smoky fires like the the neighbour that's moving. Mice are a problem.

Sick of the smoke. This city will have 250,000 people soon. Smoky campfires should not be allowed in this city either.

If Kitchener council likes to sit around campfires, they should go to campgrounds and treat this like a city with taxes that are going up all the time.

I am mentioning this to everyone in my building. Wood campfires in Kitchener backyards should not be allowed in this city either.

N2A 1L4 Why there no public meetings held? Why were none of the council meetings on TV? Why does Kitchener not have a way to fine people who break the firepit rules?

keep it going by sending this to 5 friends!

N2G 1M3 Why should residents have to have to breathe all this smoky air when Waterloo and Cambridge have banned these health hazard fires?

Thanks for the petition! It's great to finally have a say. Kitchener air stinks too much of the time. Stop the smoke!

I would like to see a firepit ban but a permit system like Cambridge might be worth a try.

N2N 1A1 Kitchener council needs to read through their environmental policies since I guess we do have one. Smoke from these fires is air pollution.

keep it going :)

Stanley Park We are paying city taxes where the air should be safe and not full of smoke due to campfires in backyards.

let's keep it going!

Most Kitchener backyards are too small to have these fires. The smoke is terrible all summer.

Most people don't smoke cigarettes. Why should we have to smell smoke from these campfires in our homes and yards. We would like to enjoy our summer for once.

I am going to university here and the air is really smoky. They don't allow anything like this in my town.
