TOBACCO - FREE POLICY FOR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR FACILITIES
The Town of Stratford recognizes that exposure of
non-smokers to tobacco smoke (passive smoking) is
hazardous to health and that non-smokers should be
protected. Passive smoking can lead to serious
illnesses in adults, such as bronchitis, lung cancer
and cardiovascular disease. Children can also develop
chest illnesses and asthma from exposure to tobacco
smoke.
The Town of Stratford also recognizes that the use of
tobacco in any form is harmful to the user. The use of spit
tobacco (snuff, chew, plug, etc.) has severe health risks. Spit tobacco usage is known
to cause serious illnesses such as cancers of the throat and mouth, leukoplakia, gum
and tooth disease and loss of bone in jaw. It is also understood that children and
young adults do not recognize the health hazards of spit tobacco as commonly as
the threats of smoking.
Accordingly, the following policy has been developed by the Town of Stratford to
protect the health of all concerned with an emphasis is place on children. Children
who are in frequent contact with adults who smoke are also more likely to become
smokers themselves.
All Properties & facilities owned by the Town are designated tobacco-free as of
October 1, 2007.

Stratford Area Watershed Group
Becoming a Member Just
Got a little Easier!
Residents and businesses within
Stratford and area watersheds
have been tremendously
supportive of our projects and
events over the last 6 years; the
very essence of a local group is
its dedicated members. So we
are making membership easier
by providing residents and
businesses the opportunity to
pay for an annual membership
via PayPal. Visit our website, go
to membership under the
SAWIG heading, and click your
way to a very important contribution for a local non-profit
organization!
We will continue to provide
environmental programs, and
with your support we hope to
increase our presence in the
communities in which we serve.

Build-a-Birdhouse Event
This winter, the Stratford Area Watershed
Improvement Group is hosting a series
called “Building Better Backyards for Birds”.
Birds are amazing creatures who often
have a difficult time in increasingly urban
areas, with decreased food sources and
declining environmental quality. SAWIG is
trying to make it a little easier for birds in
the area, by helping to provide them with
places to feed, nest, and attain water.
Our next event in this series is
“Build-a-Birdfeeder” on Saturday, April 11
from 9:30-11:30am at the Stratford Town
Centre. Families and birders alike are all
invited to assemble a wooden birdbox to
help give a local tree swallow family a place
to nest in spring. Due to limited space,
pre-registration is required.
Please contact Kelley Arnold, Watershed
Coordinator, at 902-367-3605 or at
[email protected] for further
information on this and upcoming SAWIG
events.
