The Smoke-Free Ontario Act prohibits smoking or holding lighted tobacco, smoking or holding lighted cannabis, and the use of electronic cigarettes (vaping) at schools and on school grounds, with the exception of smoking or holding lighted tobacco for traditional Indigenous cultural or spiritual purposes.

In addition, the WRDSB policy states the following:

● Smoking tobacco/cannabis and vaping are strictly banned anywhere inside the school or on school grounds. (The only exception is traditional Indigenous cultural or spiritual
practices.)
● Students and community members must not use, share, or sell any vape, nicotine, or tobacco items on school property.
