N2C 1V2 Why were there no public meetings for citizens? Waterloo and Cambridge do not allow these fires in backyards. Kitchener residents should not have to breathe in all this smoke.

please send this to your frineds to get rid of smoky air!

N2A 4A4 Smoky air is more and more of a problem in this city. Other cities banned these backyard fires for good reasons and Kitchener needs to do the same.

please keep it going!!

The firepit bylaw never worked as is indicated by hundreds of complaints a year. Kitchener residents should not have to have their health wrecked by these campfires. Time for Kitchener to get these nuisances out of backyards.

N2B 1J9. These backyard fires are both a health & a safety issue, not to mention trampling on the rights of others to enjoy backyards and open windows. I have expressed by sentiments to my City Councillor and, in future, will not be voting for anyone who supports these fires.

If these campfire people are the drinkers that got kicked out of the bars when the anti-smoking regulations came into effect, we don't want them smoking, drinking and cussing around these backyard fires either. Go camping.

N2N 1Y4

Where were the public meetings to discuss these fires? Where is this Public Health announcement on smoke? It's not a good thing that Kitchener is one of the last cities to ban these fires.

Most people do not smoke cigarettes or need to sit around campfires. The people who need to pollute the whole city by having these fires in backyards should be the ones to leave and go camping.

These smoky fires in backyards are a horrible example to show children who aready have our big environmental mess to clean up and what is the smoke doing to the health of Kitchener residents.

These wood fires never belonged in Kitchener backyards. The setback was never adequate. Kitchener needs to ban these campfires just like most other cities already have banned.

Kitchener air is full of smoke. Clean up your act!

N2C 1G1 Why should everyone have to go inside and close their windows so that their homes don't stink like smoke all the time. Stop the pollution before it makes us all sick.

Waterloo and Cambridge do not allow smoky backyard fires. Kitchener council needs to ban these fires.

Air quality is really dismal in this city.

please send this petition to your friends!

the air quality is brutal in this city.

N2P 1Z9

This city needs to ban these smoky campfires and start acting like a city not a campground.

N2A 2R8

Why should people have to close their apartment windows when it's nice summer weather outside. Waterloo and Cambridge don't allow these backyard fires and Kitchener needs to ban them.

These backyard fires contribute to air pollution and Kitchener residents deserve a ban.

I like the compromise of the permit system that Cambridges

doon

The amount of drinking and carrying on around these fires disrupts sleep time of neighbours. The smoke is a health hazard.

Waterloo and Cambridge got it right.

gross smoky air winter and summer.

I am concerned by how often the air smells like smoke when I open my windows. Environment and public health should be priorities since they go hand in hand.

N2M 3B7

I strongly favour a ban of these campfires.

N2M 1G7 The air is terrible with smoke. I have to close all my windows and my apartment does not have air coditoning.

keep it going!
