It's simply the right thing to do and, from what our buyers have said on our last two projects, they unanimously embrace this feature.

Providing healthy living spaces, increasing fire safety, lowering turnover costs, and ensuring tenants satisfaction is important to us. As a supportive housing provider, offering smoke-free housing helps us accomplish these goals.

Smoke-free housing policies protect residents from harmful tobacco smoke exposure and also support smokers who want to reduce or quit smoking.

I am one of the truly blessed now to be safe in affordable smoke-free housing.

After spending thousands of dollars trying to prevent second-hand smoke from infiltrating units, it became apparent the only and best solution was to make the 90-unit condominium a smoke-free facility. Smoke free makes us more attractive to future residents.

It should be noted though that the process wasn’t easy…neighbours encouraged neighbours and ... clean air prevailed.
