scout note
Oakville's smoking restriction sits in its Parks By-law rather than a standalone smoking by-law. Within any Town park - including public gardens, trails, squares, athletic fields, harbour lands and recreation grounds under the Parks and Open Space Department - no person may smoke tobacco or cannabis or use an electronic cigarette in any area where signs prohibiting smoking are posted,
