Peel Outdoor Smoking By-law
The Region of Peel’s Outdoor Smoking By-law, effective September 2, 2013, makes it against the law to smoke outdoors within nine metres (30 feet) of:
- entrances and exits of municipal buildings
- playground areas
- sports/activity areas
The Region of Peel, in collaboration with the Cities of Mississauga and Brampton, and Town of Caledon, joins over 70 Ontario municipalities that have introduced outdoor smoking by-laws.
The Peel Outdoor Smoking By-law can be viewed here.
Why is there a by-law?
The Peel Outdoor Smoking By-law will protect children and the public from the harmful effects of second-hand smoke.
The Region of Peel wants to create the healthiest possible environment for everyone in Peel. Residents, visitors and their children will no longer have to walk through a cloud of tobacco smoke when they enter or exit a municipal building, community centre, arena, playground or sports field.

These enforcement signs will be posted in some areas in Peel.
