You Can Help Keep YWTC Smoke-Free

- YWTC, like all City of Toronto-owned facilities, is a smoke-free zone.
- The Smoke-Free Ontario Act prohibits smoking within 20 meters of sporting areas, playgrounds, play areas, and spectator areas next to sporting areas.
- Violators face a fine of up to $5000.
- These restrictions apply to tobacco, cannabis (medical & recreational) as well as vaping or electronic cigarettes.
- If bothered by smoke while on the court, DO NOT ENGAGE with the offender(s).
- Dial 416.808.2222 to file a complaint with TPS.
- Be sure to send a follow-up note to ywtc@ywtc.ca with the date & time of the incident.
- Do not expect immediate results.
- With a list of our filed complaints, our City Councillor will be able to request TPS to step up their patrols of the Weston Lions Park.
- Do not dial 911, as this number is strictly for emergency use only.
