351 | Jane Miller | N2G 4M4 I am only here to go to school but the smoke from these fires is a problem. I don't smoke cigarettes. |
352 | tanya wilson | |
353 | M.Smith | N2N 3M2 Why was Waterloo's setback 10 m before the ban? Kitchener setback is only 5 m? |
354 | mirda rashad | N2N 1Y4 Most people don't smoke cigarettes so why should we smell smoke from these fires in our houses and apartments? |
355 | salim m. | |
356 | G. Contant | I would like to enjoy open windows |
357 | Bob S. | Victoria Hills Ban out door fires all together |
358 | Dianne Nelson | It is insane we are working towards initiatives for cleaner air and yet allowing backyard campfires that promote the use of a/c. |
359 | D. Bateman | |
360 | Jane Harding | Ward 9. There is no need to have outdoor fires in the city. |
361 | Derrick Courtens | |
362 | Mike Clark | think about it...my neighbour has a fire and i need to close my windows and/or stay in if i dont want the smoke. this is a city, not a cottage resort! |
363 | SAM H. | Breithaupt area. Focus on improving air quality and ban fires. We pay taxes but cannot enjoy our property. Must live behind closed windows for most of the year due to the smell outside. |
364 | Elizabeth Fromer | Way to go Ingrid. I have been writing the City and fighting backyard fires for years as they invade our privacy and freedom to live a happy healthy life and are a burden to the environment and the Fire Dept and a waste of our tax dollars. |
365 | Wendy Albrecht | Kitchener calls itself a 'city' and promotes more density, yet acts like a country village about backyard flires. Time to grow up! |
366 | Anne Walsh, 169 Winding Way, Kitchener | July 21st, when a fire ban was in place, I called fire dept admin after 11 about a neighbour's fire. Bylaw officer was to come. I fell asleep after 2 and they were still partying.Smoke was terrible. |
367 | Michael C. Moorhouse | I am against backyard firepits. The smoke prevents me from using my own backyard. |
368 | Eric Terry | My wife and I are very sensitive to smoke particles and have to retreat indoors whenever our neighbour starts an outdoor fire. |
369 | Joanne Lee | |
370 | Lori Rempel | N2E 1A9 We are supposed to be trying to deal with air pollution--smoke from a backyard fire is unnecessary and infringes on the rights of those who wish to maintain their health. If you want a backyard fire, buy a cottage or a trailer. |
371 | Mike Canivet | Our back yard joins onto 5 other yards and 3 of those 5 have outdoor fires udring the summer. There is no escape no matter which direction the wind blows. There is also one house downwind where they have fires nearly every weekend and ofter during the week |
372 | RANDY BECKER | Councillors voting for this are swayed by petitions and not by doing the right thing. This petition shouldn't even be neccessary. |
373 | mary becker | |
374 | lori becker | |
375 | joe becker | councillor for last 4 signatures Paul Singh |
376 | Sue Bell | Some residents of Kitchener are actually trying to stay healthy inspite of having to deal with crappy, smoky air around our homes. All smoke is terrible for health. Why do firefighters wear masks if it's so 'good' for them. |
377 | lise dwyer | n2e2v8 Campfires go camping. If we wanted to breathe in smoke we'd go to a campground. |
378 | hailey johnson | What about our environment and health? Some people should spend more time reading and less time sitting around smoky fires. |
379 | b. ramirez | |
380 | J. Shaw | Cambridge and Waterloo got it right. |
381 | jeff taylor | next school year i'll bring my gas mask |
382 | vicky weber | N2P 1L9 |
383 | K. Mason | Council member - Dan Glenn-Graham |
384 | R. Baker | N2E1A7 Why does this matter even need any more debate? What is more important than the health of residents and air quality in this city? Go camping if you need to sit around a wood campfire. |
385 | allyson wood | N2P 1K8 |
386 | emilia b. | So many kids at my school have asthma just like me. The smoke makes me cough. |
387 | Rob Oliver | N2R0B8 |
388 | Ron W. | Majority should win. Most people don't smoke cigarettes. Only 2000 signed the other petition so why should the rest of us have to suffer smelling it every night? |
389 | Marg Dietrich | N2C2P5 Please get all your freinds to sign so we get rid of the smoke. |
390 | jenn bechtel | |
391 | AndrewV | cars do more damage to the environmenthealth than wood fire pits. Get a life...find a more impactful cause to get behind. This petition is comical. |
392 | Douglas Watson | Many people have health concerns. |
393 | Rebecca R. | Kitchener does have an environmental policy. http://www.kitchener.ca/en/livinginkitchener/Environment.asp Maybe council members should read it. |
394 | Elizabeth Watson | Let us have clean air. |
395 | B. Greenwood | All this smoke is on top of all of the other pollution. Do you think that ridiculous light rail that is going to cost us all hundreds each year is going to get cars off the road? |
396 | Brian Brooks | Waterloo and Cambridge got it right. |
397 | Nancy R. | Get a life and go camping like people used to do! |
398 | Nancy Dyck | Kitchener website does used the work 'clean air' HEALTHY COMMUNITY
