852 | Ben McWilliams | I would vote for the permit system that Cambridge has in place. Smoky fires don't belong in Kitchener backyards. Health is the price we pay. |
853 | Ramon Alves | The smoke from backyard fires is a health hazard to neighbours. Kitchener needs to ban. |
854 | Rita Smith | I don't care if Mayor Zehr and council members enjoy sitting around their backyard campfires. The smoke from these fires if a public health hazard. Many people had fires during smog alerts and fire bans. Ban these fires as Waterloo and Cambridge have. |

857 | Liz Shipley | Kitchener is a growing city not a backwoods campground. |
858 | Rob Shipley | Waterloo and Cambridge have already banned these smoky fires. The smoke is a public health hazard. |
859 | Marie Sullivan | Wood smoke is pollution. Everyone should know by now that pollution is detrimental to human health. |
860 | Mark Green | Country Hills |
861 | Ryan Stewart | |
862 | Natalie Bryant | Most other Ontario cities have banned backyard fires. |
863 | Melinda Gardiner | Kitchener is right in the middle of 2 other cities that have already banned these smoky fires. Public health is at risk in Kitchener. |
864 | Gary Brewer | These smoky fires are ridiculous in a city this size. Public health is being affected. |
865 | Linda Brewer | Ban backyard bonfires. Maybe the rest of us can finally start enjoying the summer in 2013. |

868 | R. Gulin | Kitchener needs to ban these fires. Smoky air is going to make everyone sick. |

871 | kim lee | I was surprised to find out that Kitchener allows backyard campfires. The smoky air is not good for anyone. |
872 | Sandra Stanley | Smoke from these wood fires affects neighbours in the immediate vicinity and beyond. Public health is at risk. |
873 | scott rosello | |
874 | Brenda Chandler | A system like the one Cambridge has would allow wood campfires in open areas where smoke wouldn't end up in neighbouring houses and yards. |

881 | M. Patel | Wood smoke is a public health hazard. Backyard fires should be restricted to campgrounds and rural areas. |
882 | Cheryl Reynolds | |
883 | Stuart Wells | |
884 | Chris Smith | Smoky air in neighbourhoods is a health hazard. We already have enough air pollution without this campfire nonsense. |
885 | Heber Davis | It is interesting that the same people that would have us conserve energy pass laws that force many of us inside behind closed doors and windows with the AC running. I would much rather breath the cooler evening air. Do the right thing and ban the fires. |
886 | Charmaine Fields | |
887 | Bryan Hamilton | Heritage Park Smoky campfires don't belong in Kitchener backyards. A strict permit system like the one Cambridge has would be a compromise. |
888 | cory edwards | Kitchener needs to do way more as far as the environment is concerned. Pollution affects human health. |
889 | Pal Ali | |
890 | Dennis Hall | |
891 | Bonnie Fischer | Waterloo and Cambridge have banned these smoky campfires. What is Kitchener council waiting for - for people to get sick? |
892 | allison edwards | pioneer park |
893 | Eka Mueller | Stanley Park |
894 | Jason Andrews | N2M 5M3 Air is smoky and poor too much of the time. |
895 | Laurie King | Kitchener council has a job to do in protecting our environment. Smoky campfires need to be banned. |
896 | Evan Best | |
897 | Sonia Peters | We should not need a petition to remind Kitchener council that they are responsible for the environment and public health. |
898 | Olivia Ellis | N2E 3V6 The air smells smoky and polluted too much of the time. These backyard bonfires are a terrible thing to be teaching our kids. Shame on Kitchener council for not banning this health hazard. |
899 | max campbell | |
900 | Gail Jordan | Why would Kitchener not have banned these campfires at the same time as Waterloo? |
