Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre To Become Leader In Movement Towards A Smoke Free Society

September 4, 2008 - ECHL (ECHL)
Victoria Salmon Kings News Release


Victoria, BC - The Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre is proud to announce that effective September 15, 2008 that the new smoking regulations will be put in place that will move the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre to the forefront of smoke free environments.

The negative impact of smoking and secondhand smoke is well known. In conjunction with General Motors Place, British Columbia's premiere event centres are making a bold statement in regards to the acceptability of smoking.

The new regulations will be phased in over the next few months, but effective immediately Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre staff and their designates will enforce a no smoking policy on any property controlled by the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre.

Further, smoking area access previously supplied by the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre will no longer be made available, and in-and-out privileges during events will be eliminated.

Finally effective December 1, 2008 cigarettes will not be allowed in the facility period. If they are found on a person they will be confiscated.

These policies far exceed any regulations set down by the province or municipalities. The Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre and RG Properties believe by taking these steps it will help to lead the community towards a smoke free society.
